It's over. Woodward and Tilden are not going to be as good as WJ and North Bethesda. They will be high FARMS. Don't try to tell me that's a good thing. It isn't[/quote]

Nothing is over. If FARMS is the only measure you care about, under two current options Tilden numbers will even slightly improve ([b]Woodward is different story[/b]). Only option 3 is catastrophic. And options will be modified. So this whole "earthquake is coming to Tilden zone" is very premature.

Today Tilden is not as good as North Bethesda but that disparity may not deepen at all. [/quote]

not the PP you are replying, but that's the mian story to be honest.

Right now Tilden area kids attend 18% FARMS HS. They will be attending 35-45% FARMS. Earthquake is already there.

Look around what happens with high FARMS schools.

35-45% FARMS isn't high FARMS. It's at or slightly below average for MCPS.[/quote]

It is high FARMS. We’ve normalized high FARMS here.[/quote]

MCPS has several middle schools with >70% FARMS.[/quote]

35-40% is high FARMS for educational impact. FARMS kids do well when school is at 20$ or below FARMS.

Entire county used to be lower FARMS and it's gooing higher and higher. Just because county FARMS has been going up unchecked, we can's say that 35-40% is not high. 70% is very high FARMS. Yes, you can find something 90% and say that 70% is not very high.

When all said and done right now Tilden area attends a HS having FARMS of 18%. Going to 35-40% is more than doubling it and crossing the threashold where it will start having impact.

Maybe so, but Tilden doesn't exist in a vacuum, it's one small part of MCPS, and these decisions are going to be made looking at the bigger picture.[/quote]

That's different angle than saying 35-40% is not a high FARMS.

Pretty soon we will be saying 60-70% is not high FARMS because county becomes 90% FARMS.[/quote]
