[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are your non-W schools with lower than 30% Farms. There are others that are not far over 30%, but, FARMS have steadily risen since the early 2000s, they are not getting lower!

I included Wootton because maybe you'll find a unicorn. I think your budget is tough period. You'll have to compromise.

Clarksburg (26%)
Damascus (14%)
Richard Montgomery (19%)
Northwest HS (22%)
Poolesville (6%)
Quince Orchard (21.3%)
Sherwood (15%)
Wootton (less than 5%)

Out of curiosity, I looked at FARMS rates back in 2002. Wheaton was the only highschool with over 30% FARMS at 38.4%. 18 out of 26 (69%) of our highschools are over 30% Farms with some being more than 50%. The school system is done. Buyer beware.

Here is the dashboard with data.

Interesting data.

We are at a high FARMS elementary and I see the negative effects it has on the school.  It is impossible to sustain this model of increasing lower income populations without a negative impact on middle class families.  The wealthier will choose private, but [b]the middle class families will look elsewhere for better public school options.

It has nothing to do with race (I’m not White) and everything to do with money.  There is not enough money to meet the needs of all the students.  And MCPS is so poorly managed that they continue to mismanage the funds they do have.  [/quote]

There are no better public school options than MCPS [/quote]
[b]
I disagree.  MCPS is no longer the best.  In fact, it's going downhill quickly.  There are other school systems in MD that are much stronge[/b]r. [/quote]
Which ones?
We hear that every year on DCUM, but every year MCPS crushes the competitions.[/quote]
