[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What will the point of paying premium money for that part of Silver Spring if you end up not really being in the BCC cluster except for High School.  [/quote]

Why would the new middle school be less "in the BCC cluster" than Westland?

Other desirable clusters have multiple middle schools, all of which are considered part of the cluster.  [/quote]

Think of it this way, some eastern schools where picked up and thrown a bone by court order to integrate BCC. So while you had to still go to your basically Silver Spring elementary school you would spend the majority of you focused years in a high wealth and expectations environment for middle and high school. Those houses that where blessed with BCC in turn get a measurable value bump. Now most of those kids will now go to a silver spring elementary, a middle class silver spring/Kensington middle school and will only mix with the affluent kids for a couple of years in high school.

At which point after spending the past decade with their own socioeconomic piers and clicking up when they do finally mix with the east county kids I suspect it will be harder than it already is for them. Seems waste to spend the extra money just for high school.

Yes it will be the BCC cluster but the kids will only see the true Bethesda/Chevy Chase kids for a few years at the end of their schooling. [/quote]

Better let all the folks in Kensington know that they are now the poors.[/quote]

Not what was said, the Kensington kids in the BCC cluster are in the nicest and [b]richest part on Kensington[/b] (if not quite up to the better parts of BCCs area) and mostly white and upper middle class. I am sure Westland would love to keep the Kensington kids but they are too white and also to close to the new one so they will most likely be transferred. Out of the the two other eastern schools Westland will trade one of its schools for RCF to ensure the RMHs which has geography going against it too goes to the new one.

Basically RCF and RMH are the two that sort of stick out and they will be spit up in the name of diversity, the smart money is RCF to Westland and RMH to the new one. Any other combinations that doesn't split those two schools up won't be accepted [/quote]

That would be the K-P neighborhood in my opinion.[/quote]
