[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People on this thread are not acknowledging that Herndon HS northern attendance area is still quite white and wealthy, while the southern Hutchinson site that is where a new high school would be built is where the poor Hispanics are, Unless you want to bring in busing Hutchinson HS, that new high school will be a Lewis tier level high school. The elitists have been questioned so I ask why are some of you so keen on dispersing socioeconomics?[/quote]

What's the downside to dispersing socioeconomics? Wouldn't it be better for the entire county to have an even distribution of FARMs so that all schools have significantly high average test scores? This would benefit the rest of the county. Not all of us are lucky to live in Great Falls, Mantua, and Vienna. As it stands, there are only about 5 schools that really steal the show.

Another advantage is that a county-wide redrawing of the boundaries could finally address the overcrowding issues with a fresh slate.[/quote]
