[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to put it simply. School performance will go down. School ratings will go down. This directly affects property values. It always has and always will. I’m not sure what’s so hard to understand about this?

When you take a low performing school and just move the students to a different school it doesn’t actually change the way those students perform in any way shape or form.[/quote]

But when you mix them with high performing students it can help[/quote]

The biggest issue these kids face is lack of parent involvement.  It’s the literal number 1 reason these kids fail. Their parents are working sometimes multiple jobs and they are often home alone for extended periods of time.  School is simply not the priority. This will not change when their school changes-their family stays the same. I work in a MS in the Gaithersburg district. [/quote]

ok - I understand that - but what do you care if some of those kids are in the same school as your kid - you realize Wootton already has kids like that right? - you realize that your kid will still be in the AP course without that kid right? High schools have tons of cohorts and your kids cohort and that kids cohort will likely avoid each other - no need for you to worry - [/quote]

Sure the kid will be fine. How about their parent’s house value? [/quote]
