My kid attended RCES and then we had to move to Fairfax County for a few years. Now we are back and I'm happy about it. Its a good school, but so is Dufief. Obviously, there is animosity between the Kentlands/Lakelands residents with students that attend RCES and those that live outside those areas.[b] Those outside these neighborhoods tend to think of the Kentlands/Lakelands residents as being elitist and looking down at non-residents and Kentlands/Lakelands residents want the school to be a walkable neighborhood school.[/b] There are other issues along this line that have been ongoing for years. As for the Mormon comment, I don't get it.[/quote]

[b]So, the presence of kids from the Governor Square Apartments somehow makes it impossible for kids from Kentlands to walk to school? [/b]

Or did you mean to say, "Residents who don't live in Kentlands/Lakelands correctly believe that Kentlands/Lakelands residents don't want them there."?[/quote]
I’m a different poster, but I think this poster was probably referring to the fact that Kentlands and Lakelands parents would like to keep their communities zoned for the same elementary school rather than split between RCES and Dufief. If some RCES students get rezoned to Dufief, they want it to be students from other neighborhoods. However, the easiest way to siphon off 300 RCES students would have been to rezone a chunk of Lakelands, which is why parents historically accepted the overcrowding.[/quote]
