Shortly after arriving in Montgomery County, Superintendent Jerry Weast carried out an analysis of the school system which divided the county into what he dubbed the Red Zone
and the Green Zone. The Red Zone comprised a corridor stretching from the DC border through the
center of Montgomery County (Takoma, Silver Spring, Wheaton, Rockville,
Gaithersburg) that was "highly impacted" by poverty and other challenges,
namely high numbers of minorities, and high ESOL and FARMS
rates.
“Housing Policy is School Policy: The Academic Success of Montgomery County” is relevant to the discussion.
Rather than Red and Green Zone, Montgomery County Public Schools, refers to "focus"
and "non-focus" schools.
The MCPS Schools at a Glance publication details
which elementary schools are the 66 "focus" elementary schools
receiving "focus" funding. In the box labeled “School Programs” on the Schools
at a Glance page for each elementary school, there is a notation that says “Focused Academic Support” and then the
source of the funding for this support is noted. 30 Focus elementary schools
are shown as receiving Title 1 Funds and the other 36 as receiving Local Funds
to support their programs.
