NP, these technicalities are meaningless.  The point is, there is a diversity of schools upcounty with great schools like Quince Orchard, Northwest and Clarksburg.  There are also not so great schools like Seneca, and Watkins Mill.  The question is what will spring forth from the coming Seneca expansion.  The schools zoned for Seneca could become more desirable [b]if there is an improvement in the quality of schools[/b].[/quote]

I am wondering what you mean, when you talk about "quality of schools".

Seneca Valley HS will have a new building. The old building was in terrible shape, so the new building will be a big improvement. Is that what you're talking about?

Or are you talking about the rezoning? In that case, you're not talking about the quality of the school, you're talking about the demographics of the student population. [/quote]

I'm talking about both.  Not sure why we have to play these "quality of school" games all the time.  The current building is atrocious and hopefully the revitalized campus will bring it new life.  Likewise, it will probably pull from more economically well off populations which should improve educational climate.[/quote]

Ah, so you define a good school as a school with a high proportion of students from economically well-off families. In other words, the richer the student body, the better the school.

Not everybody agrees with this definition.[/quote]
