[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree and Darnestown really should be going to QO. Darnestown ES is literally right down the road from QO but kids are bussed past QO and up to NW instead. I guess the thinking is that since they have already been sacrificed why not send them even farther past QO and NW. Diamond ES and Brown Station is another diversity move. Diamond is closer to QO than Brown Station but Brown Station is bussed through the Diamond boundaries to get to QO while Diamond is sent over to NW. Brown Station keeps QO from being too wealthy and Diamond adds some wealthy families to NW.

It doesn't work. Parents hate it. Kids get sent to schools further away for longer bus rides and end up being from geographic islands. It has not created any utopia at all. There are racial incidents at QO, some parents resent the BS kids and the BS kids tend to get left out. The BS kids are not performing any better than low income kids at any other MCPS school. Darnestown sends so few kids to NW that it does nothing for adding wealthy kids into the mix. Because of the zoning most kids at Darnestown go to private for high school, file COSAs or even lie about their residency. Sending Darnestown to Seneca Valley will just push out the few kids who were willing to go to NW.

Kids from Brown Station should go to a different high school, with no wealthy kids, for their own good!!!!! Or at least that's what you're saying.

Brown Station ES is also literally right down the road from Quince Orchard HS, of course.[/quote]
