Surprise surprise.. looks like majority of the people who took the survey think geography is the most important factor and demographics the least. Let me guess what MCPS will prioritize despite that.

Geography is a proxy for demographics, here. Specifically, it's a proxy for a desire to exclude certain demographic groups.

Nah. It looks like the great majority of respondents from Clarksburg think the poor kids currently zoned for Clarksburg should go to Seneca Valley, and a slightly smaller great majority of respondents from Northwest think the poor kids currently zoned for Northwest should go to Seneca Valley.

As a Clarksburg parent, I'm ashamed.

But it's interesting that in the breakdown by school, those from Clarksburg or not identifying a cluster thought geography was most important, but Northwest ranked facility utilization higher, and Seneca Valley ranked demographic characteristics higher.
