That's not really accurate. Better would be, "We paid a lot of money to live in Cabin Branch so our children wouldn't have to go to school with [i]more[/i]poor kids. This is unacceptable. Something must be done!"

I mean, look at the 2017-2018 numbers:

Clarksburg ES: 19% FARMs
Rocky Hill MS: 22% FARMs
Clarksburg HS: 27% FARMs

And there are a lot of MPDUs in Cabin Branch, and there will be more. And kids from two Neelsville MS feeder elementaries are already at Clarksburg HS.

So evidently that level of poverty is totally ok - if the prospect is reassignment from Rocky Hill MS/Clarksburg HS to Neelsville MS/Seneca Valley HS.

But imagine the screaming if, for example, people currently zoned for Pyle MS/Whitman HS were reassigned to a middle school/high school with poverty percentages like Rocky Hill MS/Clarksburg HS.[/quote]

The sad/funny part is those percentages aren't bad at all when you consider the county average is closer to 35%.[/quote]
