[quote=Anonymous]We stay in Montco for the close proximity to our jobs. My $650K house east of 270 is attached to schools with test scores below district and state averages, high FARMS, and high ESOL. Fifteen years ago our ES had less than 10% FARMS. Today it is almost 40%. In it's current state I consider our ES school to be diverse and am OK with that but do not believe it will stay that way. Each year FARMS creeps up 1-2 percentage points. There must be a tipping point at which middle class parents decide they will not send their kids there. I predict in 10 years it will over 50 percent FARMS. If the pattern continues in our MS and HS I will look for other options. Unfortunately like many I do not want a long commute and cannot afford the more desirable school clusters close in.[/quote]
