People, don't kid yourselves, this is already happening. At Rosemary Hills Elementary School,Young K-2 kids in Chevy Chase are bussed out of their neighborhood miles away out to Silver Spring in snow effort to improve the demographics of the school which is surrounded by Section 8 housing.

Then the section 8 kids are busted to Chevy Chase Elementary 3-5. Now MCPS took away our 6th grade and enlarged our gifted and talented program which imports even more kids from other neighborhoods. Our neighborhood school has been decimated. It is 70% kids who don't live in the area.

The parents are fed up and the neighborhood parents who run the Chevy Chase Foundation aren't even doing a social fundraiser this year. Because of course, the parents are burned out, constantly being asked for money by the school and are starting to yank their kids for private like most of the neighborhood. Most neighborhood CHCH families can afford private. 75% of the neighborhood is private precisely because of RHPS.

The RHPS split has been a 30 year horrible experiment and it is coming to a school near you. They will expand it. The county loves it, takes pride in it and absolutely will bus your kids. Whitman and WJ WC clusters, your bubble time is up!

Also see the catchment middle school Silver Creek. Rock Creek Forest is no where near but is busted in for diversity. Guess where most of the trouble in the school comes from. Bet you already know. "Elite" Chevy Chase families have been the Guinea pigs for years. Now the rest of county will get a taste of this mess.

Exactly. That's why all the kids go private until 3rd grade. It's sad. waste of money and driving kids in to DC for good private school. Oh well. Worth it.[quote]

I've heard this too. Friends moved there for the schools but didn't realize the problems in the ES so went private.[/quote]
