[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the RP/JW/RM cluster as well, but note that the 5th elementary for RM is already approved for funding and will open in a couple years, so the overcrowding issue at the ES level is already being addressed.

I don't think this is true..it has been delayed.
http://news.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/quicknotes/six-year-school-construction-plan-approved/.  The Chinese Immersion program should be moved from College Gardens.  This would not alter any disparities.  The all kids already travel to get there.  The whole program and teachers could stay the same.  Just a different building.[/quote]

There's a whole thread about over crowing in RM cluster on DCUM.

The 5th ES has been delayed till 2018.  I'm not counting on it opening up in time, because as noted, it was delayed once before.

And to the other PP about the SES disparity if Park Potomac or Fallsgrove were zoned elsewhere, if the income disparity was a huge issue, why don't they send the lower SES neighborhood kids from RP to the Churchill cluster? It can't be any further than Fallsgrove from RP.[/quote]
Because MCPS is not concerned about ES overcrowding in the RM cluster prospectively.  As noted above, the issue has been addressed by approval of funding for ES #5.  They aren't going to rezone elementary schools temporarily for 4 years just to move everybody back at that time. It's just not how MCPS does things.[/quote]
