[quote=Anonymous]Rock Creek Forest isn't part of the boundary debate, but it should be. I was a RCF Spanish Immersion parent who moved from Rockville to Rosemary Hills when my son got into the program. I personally think the program is a failure for this area and it's time to move it to Silver Spring International. The socioeconomic and racial divide in the school makes it more like 2 segregated schools in one with a lot of animosity.

By the way, not all the immersion parents are wealthy. I was a struggling single mom in one of the apartment complexes - a rare bird in the immersion program.

The Board of Education should re-open Lynnbrook Elementary (an old MCPS facility still standing in the East Bethesda neighborhood and still MCPS-owned) to truly give them the walking school they want, send RCF's "community program" kids to Lynnbrook, and turn the RCF building into the new middle school by building up. They could perhaps offer to buy out an adjacent property to expand the lot - would be millions cheaper than trying to obtain and convert Rock Creek Hills into a proper site for a middle school.
