[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to put it simply. School performance will go down. School ratings will go down. This directly affects property values. It always has and always will. I’m not sure what’s so hard to understand about this?

When you take a low performing school and just move the students to a different school it doesn’t actually change the way those students perform in any way shape or form.[/quote]

But when you mix them with high performing students it can help[/quote]

The biggest issue these kids face is lack of parent involvement.  It’s the literal number 1 reason these kids fail. Their parents are working sometimes multiple jobs and they are often home alone for extended periods of time.  School is simply not the priority. This will not change when their school changes-their family stays the same. I work in a MS in the Gaithersburg district. [/quote]
as a teacher, you should know that it can help when a school does not have a huge FARMs rate.  It's about resources.   Sure, some kids will not do well irrespective of whether they go to GHS or Crown or even Churchill, but for some, it will help.
