This will be the only winning strategy.  A 99% kid in the W cluster will not get in. A 99% or even just 97% kid in the Rockville HS cluster ES would definitely get in CES.[/quote]

This is not the winning strategy.  My 99% kid didn’t get in and we’re not in a W cluster.[/quote]

But do you live in Rockville?[/quote]
DP. We do; however, my 99% kid who didn't get in is in a  W cluster.. My bad, should have moved to Twinbrook ES catchment area..

But, jokes apart, you can't be serious! Who on Earth is buying and selling - and moving into rentals - just to get into MoCo's "enriched" programs? If you have the money to pull all that s--t off, just send your child to private and save yourself the grief.

I know people who are purposely renting in a district with a local CES.[/quote]

Of course it matters. Simply because the general curriculum (even the honored class in MS) is by no means or intention to fit for the needs of the 1% student. The teachers are trained to not encourage enrichment. So a bunch of 1% students still have to stay bored all day long. Personal experience.

CES only really matters if your child needs to opt out of their local environment because of low peers. It is an opt out for too many poor kids, it isn’t some automatic transformative life altering experience.  If your kids already has lots of 1% around them who cares.[/quote][/quote]
