[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Churchill's FARMS percent is 5.3%. Churchill's percent of black students is 8.9%. Churchill's enrollment is 2,093. So 111 FARMS students, and 186 black students.

Blair's FARMS percent is 36.8%. Blair's percent of black students is 27.2%. Blair's enrollment is 2,790. So 1,027 FARMS students, and 759 black students.

I wonder if the difference in the size of the denominator makes a difference. (Actually I don't wonder that. I'm pretty sure it does.)

But, ok, let's say you're correct. [b]Churchill does a better job of educating FARMS students and black students than Blair. Therefore, MCPS should enable more FARMS students and black students to attend Churchill. You don't have a problem with that, right?[/[/b][quote]

Don't have a problem with that at all.  Please go ahead and ask the MCCPTA to advocate for your suggestion.  You don't have a problem with that, right?[/quote]

I have no problem with asking MCCPTA to ask MCPS to allow anybody who wants to to go to Whitman or Churchill. If Whitman and Churchill are the best schools in MCPS, then everybody in MCPS should have the opportunity to go there -- not just people whose parents can afford to live in the Whitman and Churchill zones. Hooray! I'm glad we agree.[/quote]
