[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When Silver Creek was going through the assessment of which students would attend, the lower income families in Rock Creek area wanted to go there over Westland. They did not want to sit on a bus as long as it took to get to Westland. Now Silver Creek is high FARMS and Westland is overly white.  Are those in favor of redistributing students thinking it’s better for some to go to Westland over Silver Creek because of diversity. And same for sending Westland students to Silver Creek?  Despite the long bus rides. Which means if that happens the same voices will complain about lengthy bus rides a couple years later. All so odd how opinions change from one extreme to another and back in the theory of its the right thing now.  [/quote]
How long would the bus ride be? Westland is over capacity. More like, some from Westland would go to Silver Creek.

But, I'm confused. I am looking at Silver Creek At a glance, and there doesn't seem to be any 8th graders. Where did the 8th graders go?

They hadn't gotten there yet.[/quote]
Correct, Silver Creek opened with just 6th and 7th graders because they didn’t want to move the 8th graders just for one year. Which I understand and agree with. My daughter was in the class that stayed at Westland for 8th despite the new school being a mile away - she’s a sophomore now.[/quote]
Oh, I hadn't realized it's a new build.  Looking at the numbers, it's already at or just above capacity. So, when they add in 8th graders, it will be above capacity.... in the four years since it was built.  And nearby Westland is also over capacity.

MCPS really does a terrible job at enrollment projections.  No wonder they need to pay $ for a boundary consultant.[/quote]
