Former bosses parent's lived on Lake Sunapee. They had neighbors who paid 2-3 times the median household income of a Raleigh resident in property tax a year.
Live Free or so I am told
NH taxes dividends though.
It's a great state. Fairly low COL, high salaries, low taxes, great schools. And a killer motto. Just kinda cold.
Look at all the migration out of NY to FL. The rich go to where their income isn't taxed.
You have just said that "diverse" kids are "bad kids."
No, I said I went to a school where bureaucrats imported a large amount of bad kids using the justification of "diversity", and the result was horrible for everyone.

I have enjoyed myself anytime I have been to NH. Cold is an issue for sure.
And I get it. People seek out places to stretch their means. We left MA because of COL (at least Real Estate) and we're far from rich.
My dad just retired last November and had plans to head south for years (specifically SC) . Mom died in '16 and threw those a wrench into those plans temporary.
His GF is a born and bred "the sun rises and sets on Eastern MA" towny type. She said she would never leave. Her upper crust friends have all started leaving in retirement (for reasons you have accurately pointed out) and now she sees the writing on the wall.
I’ve heard that Carroll has gotten much better since they were designated as a magnet and got a new principal.
I agree the general word is that Carroll is improved. Hopefully, as the area around it (both sides of Six Forks) continues to "redevelop and gentrify" then the achievement will continue rising. Right now, statistically it's still behind the Wake Co average

No idea where they will go.
Now amplify that one million times over and you see why cutting corporate taxes (and taxes in general) is a good thing for America. Yet corporate taxes have been vilified (is this the tax thread? I'm not sure, I'm on a plane and just continuously posting to pass time).

It isn't the tax thread. This is a thread about WCPSS and desegragating.
But we probably aren't going to agree on tax policy even if it was, so we can leave it there.
I dont think it's a good idea to move students with poor behavior from one school and dump them on another in the hope that it will fix parenting problems, and I have real life experience with those exact policies that were tried out years ago.
If you have a problem with that I dont know what to tell ya.
These west Cary schools are plenty diverse, so what's the problem?
Both of my children attended one of the large west Cary high schools and it was, for both of them, a wonderful experience. As you say, their school was "plenty" diverse but the primary form of diversity was cultural/ethnic. From a socioeconomic perspective, the school was much more homogeneous.
