[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It covers Whitman, WJ and BCC clusters….I’m guessing the ELC adoption rate in those clusters is somewhat higher than MCPS average.  Just a guess.  Also even without ELC, they are all pretty good schools—so if the peer group isn’t going to be markedly different and the social stuff and bus schedule are going to be a pain…my guess is a lot of the seats will end up going to the CCES neighborhood kids.

This is not going to be a popular opinion but I think the way this particular CES is heading I think it should be shut down or moved to a different part of the county. This makes no sense as a lottery because every single school in the catchment area is high performing. MCPS made sure of this a few years ago when they redistricted with Barnsley so that the wealthy schools were only competing with the wealthy schools.

With it being so random now and nearly everyone in these areas qualifying (was told it was more than 80 percent of kids in our elementary making the lottery cut off) they should be using those resources elsewhere.

I'm this PP and my child did get in randomly but after looking at who else got in DC was like why would I want to drive there to go to school with Johnny and Larla who are average students when. the top students are staying at my school with my friends? DC is an average student just like Johnny and Larla and with none of the top students going it did not make any sense. If DC had gotten in in previous years which probably wouldn't have happened we would have sent DC in a heartbeat.
