It also sucks for broader Garrett Park community.  Garrett Park pool crew (Garrett Park, Garrett Park estates, white flint park) will not be happy. [/quote]

No worries, they will fix that with the upcoming elementary boundary study[/quote]

They are fine at elementary and middle school actually. It's the high school they are not fine with. That community will rally. I have friends there who are up in arms[/quote]

Wow. That's pretty disgusting. I hope for their children's sakes they do Option D because being this fragile is not good for them.[/quote]

Karen enters the room with disgust. Option D sucks for other reasons. Nobody wants to turn a good school to another crappy DCC ghetto school[/quote]

Let's be real, you all know a 30% FARMS rate is fine, but you also know it means it will reduce the real estate differential for your neighborhood compared with the 40-50% FARMS school and you can't tolerate losing 5% of your $5 million in wealth[/quote]

30% is worse than my current situation and my current situation is barely acceptable. So no, I'm not ok with it. Sure it sucks to lose home equity, but having a cruddy school on top of it? No thanks[/quote]

I can't imagine what on earth about being, what, 20% or 25% FARMS makes a school "barely acceptable." That's not a high FARMS rate or anything like that, not enough to put any meaningful strain on a school's resources.  A 30-40% FARMS rate is just a plain vanilla normal school, not a poor one-- if you're down below 30% you're definitely on the richer side of normal.  If you don't like your school, fine, but probably the issue is that it's badly run or something like that.  What kind of problems could possibly be caused by that low a FARMS rate?[/quote]

Numerous peer reviewed academic studies state the tipping point is 20%. So you, random Internet person, not being able to "imagine" it mattering is not credible with your esteemed credentials. [/quote]

Your mom isn’t credible with her esteemed credentials of raising a jackass. [/quote]
