You have to argue that X cluster is the only path to HYPS. That’s the Kool Aid (DCUM flavor), not anything MCPS has said. The system has never argued children in Ws or their feeders will get a better education than a child in Einstein or Springbrook’s catchments.[/quote]

So which is it?  I hear all the time that the W schools are better, and that it's unfair to the rest of the county.  They point to the test scores as an indication that the schools are better.[/quote]

They are not better. [b]There continuing inequity in the distribution of resources for infrastructure and supplies[/b]. And some really hinky stuff is going on with grading at Churchill. However, it’s the same curriculum and the same pool of staff. No special hiring pool for Ws. Sorry![/quote]

Actually the Ws receive LESS funding than other schools.  They have larger classroom sizes and receive fewer resources than other schools.  If you are referring to resources parents have to supplement, that may or may not be true.  But as far as the schools, from local, state and federal dollars, the wealthier school communities receive less than others.[/quote]
