This is a good point. The schools that have FARMS in the 30%-40% FARMS (or 50% ever been on FARMS) are also likely to grow in poverty even faster. I doubt that Poolesville or Damascus will grow that quickly because the high density low income housing just doesn't exist out there to support the surge in FARMS that you are seeing in Silver Spring, Gaithersburg and Germantown. MCPS will start trying to bus kids from Gaithersburg and Germantown into QO, NW, and Wootton and this will kill those skills. [b]Silver Spring is already a lost cause with poverty already taking over those schools[/b]. No idea about Sherwood but I would guess that it get caught up the MCPS bussing plans too. [/quote]

Yeah 
OP, don't listen to this. Because real estate values are going up, there are many areas in silver spring and Wheaton that are improving. You may have to take a chance on a school pyramid that is less than you want, but we also are in the under 500k club, and it's fine. [/quote]

Yes, it's just the usual fact-free fear mongering. The actual MCPS data shows SS schools like Blair are stable and have experienced about 1% variance over the past decade. [/quote] 
That’s funny because Blair was mostly white and all middle class a short generation ago, doesn’t appear to be a stable trend line to but maybe that trend is your stable.[/quote]

And Georgetown was a ghetto a few decades back too. Things are always changing. Nevertheless, over the past 10 years, the FARMS rate has varied within 1%. [/quote]

You think Georgetown was a ghetto in anybody’s life time but can see that silver spring is today? Talk about out of touch[/quote]
