Suburbanization Historic Context and Survey Methodology
INTRODUCTION The geographical area for this project is Maryland’s 42-mile section of the I-95/I- 495 Capital Beltway. The historic context was developed for applicability in the broad area encompassed within the Beltway. The survey of historic resources was applied to a more limited corridor along I-495, where resources abutting the Beltway ranged from neighborhoods of simple Cape Cods to large-scale Colonial Revival neighborhoods. The process of preparing this Suburbanization Context consisted of: • conducting an initial reconnaissance survey to establish the extant resources in the project area; • developing a history of suburbanization, including a study of community design in the suburbs and building patterns within them; • defining and delineating anticipated suburban property types; • developing a framework for evaluating their significance; • proposing a survey methodology tailored to these property types; • and conducting a survey and National Register evaluation of resources within the limited corridor along I-495. The historic context was planned and executed according to the following goals: • to briefly cover the trends which influenced suburbanization throughout the United States and to illustrate examples which highlight the trends; • to present more detail in statewide trends, which focused on Baltimore as the primary area of earliest and typical suburban growth within the state; • and, to focus at a more detailed level on the local suburbanization development trends in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, particularly the Maryland counties of Montgomery and Prince George’s. Although related to transportation routes such as railroad lines, trolley lines, and highways and freeways, the location and layout of Washington’s suburbs were influenced by the special nature of the Capital city and its dependence on a growing bureaucracy and not the typical urban industrial base. -

2096 Gaither Road, Suite 204, Rockville, MD 20850 301-208-0111 • 301-208-2003 (fax) • [email protected] Resolution on 301Preferred-208-0111/301 Choice-208 in-2003 Consortium (fax) [email protected] High Schools Submitted by the MCCPTA High School Committee at the January 24th Delegate Assembly Adopted at the February 28th Delegate Assembly Whereas: 1. The Board of Education of Montgomery County Public Schools established “preferred choice” as the system by which students are assigned to the Northeast Consortium High Schools: James Hubert Blake High School, Paint Branch High School and Springbrook High School; 2. The Board of Education established by its Resolutions 799-96, 711-99, 37-00, 335-03, and 482-05 a process to implement preferred choice, by which students rank high schools in order of preference; assignment to the base area high school is assured if that high school is the first choice; and assignment to a non-base area high school choice is subject to utilization, ever-FARMS and gender parameter conditions; 3. The Board of Education’s purposes in establishing and maintaining the preferred choice system and process are to manage demographic change, eliminate “minority” group isolation and support academic performance; 4. In 2011, 97 percent of students were assigned to their first choice preferences and MCPS officials stated that MCPS’ goal is to maximize first choice assignments; 5. In 2011, the number of students attending certain Northeast Consortium High Schools exceeded the capacity specified by the Board of Education’s -

DISCUSSION Office of the Superintendent of Schools
DISCUSSION Office of the Superintendent of Schools MONTGOMERY COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS Rockville, Maryland April 27, 2015 MEMORANDUM To: Members of the Board of Education From: Larry A. Bowers, Interim Superintendent of Schools Subject: Study of MCPS Choice and Other Special Programs—Phase I Road Map As part of its Fiscal Year 2015 Operating Budget, the Montgomery County Board of Education authorized an external review of the choice and other special academic programs that Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) provides as options for families to enroll students in schools outside their home attendance zones. On January 13, 2015, the Board awarded a contract to Metis Associates (Metis) to conduct the study. Metis is a research and evaluation firm that is nationally known for its commitment to participatory evaluation. Through a collaborative process with Metis, MCPS staff members have worked during the past several months to launch a detailed planning process for the initial data gathering phase of the study, which will extend through the fall of 2015. Overview of the Study The study has been designed to focus on four main objectives: • Understanding the unique history and current state of each of MCPS’ choice and other special academic programs; • Identifying the original purposes of each of these programs and assessing whether they are fulfilling those purposes; • Assessing whether all students have equitable access to these programs, especially in light of the continuing growth of MCPS student enrollment and the changing demographics of the region, both countywide and at the neighborhood level; and • Ensuring that these programs, both individually and collectively, are well-positioned to effectively advance the mission; core purpose; core values, including equity; and core competencies set forth in the MCPS Strategic Planning Framework, Building Our Future Together: Students, Staff, and Community. -
Middle School Magnet Programs
County-wide High School Application Programs Montgomery Blair High School Richard Montgomery High School Poolesville High School What is a county-wide application program? All MCPS high schools offer comprehensive programs that meet the graduation requirements for a high school diploma from the state of Maryland. Three high schools offer exceptionally rigorous, specialized programs to residents county-wide. Students participate in a competitive process in which they submit an application, take special testing, and are screened for selection to those programs. Many MCPS high school programs offer specialized programs for local students, such as academies and signature programs. Any student who lives within that high school’s boundaries may participate in the program. Some of those high schools, such as Blair and Kennedy, also offer application programs; however, those are only open to Downcounty Consortium residents. Program at-a-glance: Blair Math , Science, Computer Science Magnet Program In 1985, Montgomery County Public Schools opened its Science, Mathematics, Computer Science Magnet Program within Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland. The Magnet Program is designed to offer accelerated, interdisciplinary courses in science, mathematics, and computer science for highly able students particularly interested in these subjects. Ninth and tenth grade Magnet students take four courses each semester within the Magnet curriculum (science, mathematics, research, and computer science), and four courses each semester in other disciplines (English, fine arts, foreign language, physical education, social studies, etc.) with the rest of the Blair student body. Magnet students have an eight-period day, instead of the normal seven-period days of most county high school students. -

Performance of Montgomery County Public Schools' High Schools – A
Report Number 2014-7 April 8, 2014 Performance of Montgomery County Public Schools’ High Schools – A FY 2014 Update Elaine Bonner-Tompkins OOO LLL OOO ffice of Legislative Oversight Performance of MCPS’ High Schools – A FY 2014 Update Executive Summary of Office of Legislative Oversight Report Number 2014-7 April 8, 2014 This report updates OLO’s 2009 high school consortia report by describing changes in the demographics and performance of Montgomery County Public Schools’ 25 comprehensive high schools. OLO’s original report found that neither the Northeast nor the Downcounty Consortium enhanced racial or economic integration, but each may have narrowed the achievement gap among some measures of student performance at the start of each consortium. This current report takes a wider view than the original to consider demographic and performance changes among 11 consortia and consortia-like high schools compared to MCPS’ 14 other high schools. In effect, this report compares MCPS’ high-poverty high schools to its low-poverty high schools. Overall, OLO finds an increase in the stratification of MCPS high schools by income, race, and ethnicity. OLO also finds that the achievement gap between high- and low-poverty high schools has widened among a majority of measures considered. With high-poverty consortia and consortia-like high schools utilizing similar approaches to advance student achievement (e.g. expanded signature programs and freshman academies), OLO finds that MCPS’ approach is not working as intended. MCPS HIGH SCHOOLS: In this report, MCPS’ 11 high-poverty high schools are referred to as “consortia and consortia-like schools” to reflect their common demographics and strategies to engage students. -
