[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I see on MoCo threads peopke don't like it and avoid being in the controlled choice areas if they can.[/quote]

Considering moving back into the city from MoCo because financial windfall has allowed private options. But this is incorrect - "controlled choice" in MoCo (which is for high school only) is substantially different than CH. MoCo has strong-performing schools to begin with, whereas there are vast disparities in the CH schools. And to do this in HS is different than starting in ES. Selling off Hines to the highest bidder in retrospect seems foolish, but it's the hand dealt.

The first step is to bring performance (and resources) up in the lower performers, creating an incentive for higher SES parents to enroll. And it's not just class sizes - it's teacher recruitment and SWAT team style performance increase. MoCo actually provides a good example of doing this at the ES level from I believe some of the lower performing TP schools, which through targeted resource investments were brought up to county standards within something like 2 years.[/quote]
