They are just going to shuffle the deck, there will be new best schools and worst. [b]The people making 200k plus will flock there[/b] and push the imbalances back to similar levels. The schools simply can’t make rich people live conveniently near the unwashed masses.

There isn’t a world where MCPS can bus kids of high SES to places they don’t want to go. They will opt out. You can rezone the over extended rich/poor types but only for a little while before all the new ones of them in the future opt out.

You can bus poor kids to rich areas because they don’t have a choice. The real rich will flee the school and short term smaller class sizes might help smooth the bump to the plummeting test scores that will be used as a weapon and proof of the inferiority of the new kids.

Problem is the best of the nice high schools aren’t anywhere near poor kids. Which ironically is why they are so highly regarded
