[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RM is rated as 56 percentile in MD report card despite having IB magnet. With all this over crowding, people are better off with some other schools. Even city wants to make situation worse. [/quote]
yes, and it also has about a 20% FARMs rate.   I'd like to see a W school have a 20% FARMS rate and see if they get a 80 percentile rating.  Funny how even though it's so horrible so many people keep moving in to the area.[/quote]

Quince Orchard - FARMs is 21 % --- Rated at 61 percentile
Rockville High - FARMs 31%  --- Rated at 63 percentile

RM with IB magnet with 20% FARMs is rated at 56 percentile  --- It's really a  shameful standing in entire state. FARMs is not the reason here.

You can even compare with BLAIR with 36% FARMS( drastically higher than RM) and still BLAIR is higher percentile than RM.

It's really a poor high school otherwise it shouldn't stand at 56 percentile in state despite having magnet. [/quote]

It's really poor showing from RM. Non-magnets schools with higher FARMs are doing better. Now city wants to put 500-600 extra students in high school without having space there. People should run away from RM.[/quote]

Yet they keep moving to RM and the council wants to build a bunch of buildings that no one will want to live in due to bad schools.  Proof positive they should build more high rises.[/quote]

People move to 10 percentile school as well. People moving to any school district has no relationship to how well the school is run. Right now with 120% capacity limit we will have 400 extra students. City wanting to add more students is pure insanity. School is already poorly run as shown by MD report card. Add more kids without seats will make it worse. [/quote]

So you must be for the widening of 270 right? They’re going to need to knock down a bunch of houses for it, especially townhouses right against the freeway.  For some reason people on my listserv are both against tearing down those houses to widen the beltway and also against allowing additional housing.  People just want everything static.  [/quote]

Are you all right? You are comparing additional housing coming after RM already is at 120% with reduction of some housing by demolishing them? I don't even know what to say here.

I personally don't have any opinion on widening of 270. [/quote]
