All the schools will be hit if they reduce capacity and lose teachers. The w schools will have to make cuts.


But they will still have a healthy high achieving cohort to offer classes like AP physics, AP chem, AP bio, and MVC which low income schools do not offer


WJ will be higher achieving than Woodward. Lower FARMS means better academics.


WJ will be losing a lot of teachers so they will be reducing course offerings. Higher achieving has nothing to do with it. They cannot offer what they do now with less teachers.


You'd rather remain overcrowded?


I’d rather our school, not WJ remain overcrowded given what kind of staffing cuts will happen which will lead to reductions in course offerings and other things. WJ families will be complaining soon enough about the impact of the staffing cuts and course offerings.

Not necessarily. Whitman has 1000 fewer students than WJ yet still offers a full range of courses.

Obviousiy, but the point is many schools of that size, and even smaller ones, can still offer a broad spectrum of courses.

It many, only a select few and with that much loss of students, teachers and courses will be cut.

Yeah, because it will be a smaller school, the right size for its building, which is the whole point.

LOL, at people worried about cuts in WJ.

Think for a minute what other half of current WJ is getting. Woodward will have low number with higher FARMS and some art program.

Thank your lucky stars that your are in WJ and not in Wooodward area.

Yes, WJ will lose some high level courses for sure, but if you are that worried then move to Whitman.

I'm not worried as we are not at WJ, but you have magical thinking to think the classes will stay the same.

Woodward will be inferior to WJ. Not gonna lie. Those you get to stay in WJ are fortunate. The Luxmanor/Farmland crew who have no choice but Woodward got the short end of the stick.
If you have a choice between Woodward and WJ, WJ should be your clear choice.

Yep, Taylor will come in cutting left and right. How do you think he will find the money to staff Woodward and ultimately Crown?

Poster is saying that there will be some loss of higher level courses in WJ and yet you are accusing the same poster to have some magical thinking?

WJ and Woodward will be two vastly different schools. WJ should lose some higher level courses but still ratain most of them but many higher levle courses won't even exist in Woodward.

In that aspect, bigger and one WJ was serving well to all communities but school was too big. I guess its a trade off, but WJ will be a reasonably good school despite some downgrade. Being unhappy with Woodward is understandable but if some one is unhappy with WJ then it's time to move to Whitman. Whitman has no boundary change and all higher level courses.

Countywide enrollment is decreasing, so there will be fewer teacher positions overall. Lots of transfers.
