Wheaton High School/ Thomas Edison High School of Technology Partnership Programs

Regional College and Career Programs at the Wheaton/Edison Campus
Programas universitarios y profesionales regionales en el campus de Wheaton / Edison


THIS IS A LOTTERY-BASED APPLICATION PROGRAM
ESTE ES UN PROGRAMA DE SOLICITUD BASADO EN LOTERÍA


The Wheaton/Edison Program (W/E) is for students who are interested in attending Wheaton High School and going to Thomas Edison High School of Technology for one of the four aligned career pathways. Each academy has a partnership with a complimentary program at Thomas Edison. Students are Wheaton HS students and will go to Thomas Edison in their 11th and/or 12th grade years. The potential of this program is that students will be program completers in their academy program at Wheaton as well as at Thomas Edison.


El Programa Wheaton / Edison (W / E) es para estudiantes interesados en asistir a Wheaton High School e ir a Thomas Edison High School of Technology para una de las cuatro trayectorias profesionales alineadas. Cada academia tiene una asociación con un programa complementario en Thomas Edison. Los estudiantes son estudiantes de Wheaton HS e irán a Thomas Edison en su 11º y / o 12º grado. El potencial de este programa es que los estudiantes completarán el programa en su programa académico en Wheaton así como en Thomas Edison.

Non of this addresses the concerns detailed below:

The Superintendent's just released proposed CIP lists a capacity of 2,220 for Wheaton HS. Current enrollment is 2,687. According the the MCPS school profiles, in 2023-24 Edison had an enrollment of 968 students.

However, the new boundary options give Wheaton HS a capacity of 2,720. Under the tables for the boundary options are two notes:
1. "Wheaton HS includes the capacity of Edison HS"
And
2. "Assumes 500 students attend Wheaton HS for CTE"

Why do the boundary study tables say that the capacity number includes Edison HS and Wheaton HS? Edison has 1000 students enrolled and they only added 500. Is this because Edison is part time so it actually only has 500 spots of capacity at any given time? If so, is it assumed that a full 1000 students zoned for Wheaton will attend Edison part time from Wheaton HS? Isn't that a ton of students? And they've said Edison will still be available to other clusters so that makes no sense.

Or is it "only" 500 students zoned for Wheaton attending Edison part time (still a ton)? If Edison is a part time program, and 500 students attend that program from Wheaton HS, won't they still be at Wheaton HS for some courses? If so, why do the boundary options assume that Edison relieves 500 seats of capacity at Wheaton HS?

Send the superintendent and the BOE an email so you can sleep better at night. Nobody on here cares about this extremely minor point about one of the worst high schools in the county

You mean nobody cares that Wheaton HS is left 27% over capacity on 3 of the 4 new boundary options and 116% over capacity on the 4th option? I'm definitely not the only person who is angry about this.

+1. This is irresponsible with all the new seats opening at Northwood and Woodward.

94.5-103.9% capacity for options A-D. Fake news alert.

+1. Wheaton guy is untruthful

https://sites.google.com/mcpsmd.net/woodward-boundary-options/home

+2 in not convinced by his hot air either. Just hate on consultants and MCPS for the sake of it. Wheaton has plenty of capacity and resources. Two freaking schools at same address. Do they want a third? A fourth?

Lol you can't answer why they added 500 seats to Wheaton HS so you pretend Edison is just an empty building, not a separate HS that is current serving 1000 students from across Montgomery County.

Grow up. It is a seprate school and its a trade school, not a high school.

More Wheaton kids should prob go to Edison so they're employable
Their literacy and math proficiency levels are atrocious

The literacy and math scores are atrocious for Black, EML and FARMS students at every single MCPS school. Other clusters should not be shut out from Edison.

Wheaton is not a crown jewel to get more resources when it already has two new buildings.

No one is asking for more resources for Wheaton? Just to draw the boundaries in a way that they're not overcrowded (rather than the current approach of assuming that MCPS will spend millions of dollars building out extra classroom space for Wheaton in the Edison building next door, and then when they inevitably decide not to thanks to budget constraints, leaving the school 600 kids over-capacity.) i

There are a lot of issues with how they implemented it that have caused problems (e.g. no IEP goals for the Spanish portion of the day, surprise surprise kids with IEPs don't do awesome in Spanish when they have no supports in that language). But it's too early to say MCPS failed the kids overall - research says immersion kids often catch up and then do better than non immersion kids.

The plan seems to clearly use Edison building for some Wheaton capacity. Seems completely reasonable.

DP
Their current explanation is that 500 kids from Wheaton HS will do CTE programs at Edison. That is half of the current enrollment of Edison. It's bizarre to leave Wheaton HS 27% overcrowded and say it's okay because we assume that 1 out of 5 kids will choose these specific programs for half the day. What about all the other clusters? Are we saying half the slots at Edison will be reserved for Wheaton students? That's insane. Draw better boundaries MCPS.

But it's too early to say MCPS failed the kids overall - research says immersion kids often catch up and then do better than non immersion kids.

Not all schools have language immersion. Not all kids are in MCPS in ES.

I was responding to a post that stated, "MCPS failed the community with Spanish immersion."

Flo Analytics statements about using Edison CTE programs as overflow for Wheaton HS are absolutely nonsensical.

It says. "The school has the capacity for 1,000 students."

Great, send some of the esteemed scholars of Wheaton HS into there since kids aren't there the entire day. Good use of the space.

They literally have two schools on same campus at same address and want more more more. The greed is so disgusting. Excuse me as I puke my guts out

There are 1,000 students there from all over the county. It is not Wheaton HS's space. You don't get to pretend those 1,000 students don't exist just because it is convenient for you.

It's not just dropping in Wheaton. No reason to leave Woodward 30% empty. Most Latinos are documented and staying, and they have way more babies than White people so if anything enrollment will grow more in Wheaton.

They'll be changing to a regional model. You're trying to gas light. Time to ignore this dude

They don't have six trade schools and not planning to open more. This school isn't listed in the regional model. You are gas lighting and making up stuff that isn't true.

Was Edison at capacity or did it already have extra space?
