The caption says exiting HS clusters.[/quote]

Yes, but clusters each have their own feeder patterns - minus exceptions for the DCC, NEC and magnets.  See below:

I'm wondering if they're first looking at rezoning by general geographic area first.  For example, there's northern part that is dark (slate?) blue - Damascus, Clarksburg, Gaithersburg and Watkins Mill.   WMHS is 50% FARMs, which is incredibly high.  GHS has 40% FARMs, which is nothing to sneeze out.  DHS is low, and CHS is about average  However, I do believe that with the re-opening of SVHS, the numbers for CHS may even be lower, as there are boundary overlaps between CHS and SVHS.

So the county could shuffle around kids in general geographic areas w/o disrupting transportation patterns too much.

However, the dark gray with the high-performing schools is still untouched.  I can't imagine that redistricting in that area would have much of an impact - and same could be said for the NEC and DCC, which are highly-impacted schools (or the opposite case).

just my thinking [/quote]

Yup glad that in our Churchill cluster we are kind of tucked away from all the riff raff.  Whitman too.  Hopefully we won't be affected.[/quote]
