I'm guessing you haven't seen the Gaithersburg #8 boundary study results?  Take a careful look at how the boundaries were drawn at the ES level.  Since most parents never scrutinize which ES they're assigned to, they don't know when they've been royally screwed.

The question once Crown opens is whether MCPS will split off R10 kids from their ES / MS classmates as walkers, or (more likely) will they continue on to Gaithersburg HS (in which case that sucks for them since they live next to Crown and Rio and would normally be walkers), or (even more likely) is this the lame excuse that MCPS will use to bring equity by giving the Forest Oak MS kids bus rides to the brand new Crown HS across 270?

In case you weren't aware, FOMS is 90% non-white with over half Hispanic and about a quarter Black, 78.7% FARMS, and 20% ESOL.  However, FOMS is best known for only 18% having minimum proficiency in math, 28% minimally proficient in english, a 5.5% MIDDLE SCHOOL drop out rate.  It's the perfect way for MCPS to lower MS-13 issues from Gaithersburg HS, while pumping them into the Rio Washingtonian area.

If that happens, I'm sure the community in and around Rio will appreciate the gang members hanging out after classes in their community.  Combine that with reassigning kids from Travillah or other Wootton feeders and voila!  It's instant Equity and parents won't be able to do anything about it!  It will be like the Jim Cary towing truck scene from Liar Liar...

If MCPS does redraw FOMS into Crown, it will definitely boost the school-to-prison pipeline.  Rio, storeowners and the surrounding community housing have sufficient police presence and security cameras to arrest misbehaving students.  In the end, Crown may have a bigger student suspension rate than even Blair does.  But that might be what MCPS is aiming for?  Dunno.[/quote]
