What you posted are facts that would encourage high performing students to come to MCPS because there are many of their peers and programs offered for them to become more competitive.

Yet many people on DCUM seem to think that they need to speak out for the low performing students. So your facts mean nothing to them - these facts are not related to their interest.

No, that's [i]you[/i] who's insisting that this is not about students from families with different household incomes, but rather about "high performing" and "low performing" students.[/quote]

In case you did not realize - the matter can be about both.

I tend to argue from the performance perspective, and I find my arguments reasonable and strong. The proposed boundary change, started because of the overcrowding issue. But if a change is needed, the choice would eventually fall on performance - demographic or incoming levels, they consider those because they believe (or claim) these are useful to boost performance.

In other words, they want measures that can help improve the performance (of low-performing students of course). That is why the above facts do not matter much to those people.

If you want to argue from income perspective, that is your choice.
