We moved to Virginia. Fairfax district- there are tons of bilingual immersion schools in Spanish and English. Schools like baileys are 80%++ ESOL and FARMs yet test better than MCPS ESs. They do do similar things like MCPS, for example they put a magnet program for k-5 in Baileys in order to get more English speakers. Just 10-20% tho plus bussing. So most kids go to their neighborhood and then they did something appealing to get volunteers for the other sentiment to elect to attend. Nothing forced, this if something is oversubscribed it’s luck of the draw if not merit based for older children.

Nonsense. I am Asian and will be moving to VA if this comes through, I am done with MCPS.

I was going to add and Asian people to above poster.

Why do people think that diversity = bad? Seems like some false sense of white/Asian superiority or something.

so asisn isn't diverse then huh

look non whites and non asians are much lower SES around here = lower performance everyone knows that

Nope. Not in Potomac/Bethesda. Second statement is just sad and ignorant. You probably also think your kids are just naturally smarter rather than over enriched to get ahead. Lower SES just means they can't afford A++, tech camps, Dr. Li and Hopkins CTY.

No false sense about this. MCPS was test scores show this.

So you both confirm that this is about race. Nice. We're down county already, which is why I asked. I have not seen a correlation between diversity and "bad." So glad you're not my neighbors.

True but they'll whine a lot on anonymous internets.

I see that you are allergic to facts.

Leads the nation in AP passing scores. All groups in MCPS do better than anywhere else.

What you posted are facts that would encourage high performing students to come to MCPS because there are many of their peers and programs offered for them to become more competitive.

Yet many people on DCUM seem to think that they need to speak out for the low performing students. So your facts mean nothing to them - these facts are not related to their interest.

Those programs are moot.
They are 60 minutes away from a bulk of the highest performing students (as MCPS put magnet programs in troubled schools in troubled neighborhoods).
The number of seats in the program hasn’t grown much versus MCPS population skyrocketing. Esol the most.
AP test scores? sAt or ACT? Seriously? How does that address half the points brought up or the k8 lack of curriculum or ES shortcomings?

Of course they are moot to you because facts don't fit your narrative.
Did you check out why they were posted ?

Some of these neighborhoods certainly do seem to be troubled, at least if you go by what you read on DCUM. Whether they have a rational reason for it is a different question.

The magnet programs are "moot"? Because they're not in Bethesda or Potomac? Seriously?

Students who would otherwise be high performing will be fine. We live 5 minutes from an IB program school. We're staying put. People need to R E L A X.

MCPS added a SMAC program at Poolesville. There are IB programs at many schools. Magnets at Wheaton and Einstein. Apex at WJ. Cap at Blair. I am sure there are more.
