[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the meeting tonight, there's a poster on Students Not Assigned To Closest School -

ES: 37% of students in MCPS do not attend their closest school
MS: 45% of students in MCPS do not attend their closest school
HS: 38% of students in MCPS do not attend their closest school

That's CURRENTLY in MCPS.

Those are the boundaries that people want to maintain because they want "neighborhood schools."[/quote]

Kids who are bussed away from their closest school are special ed and magnet students, I'll give you that, but, looking at our catchment area, there's no way almost half of my child's middle school schoolmates live closer to another middle school. No way.

It's very common. Many people zoned for Gaithersburg and Forest Oak MS live closer to the other school. Same is true for Sligo and SSIMS. And Tilden and North Bethesda. Just look at the maps and it's easy to find examples all over the county. [/quote]
