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.

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.

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.

Short term yes, but in the long term parents will get the higher level classes back at WJ and Woodward for that matter.

WJ yes. Esp w/ its APEX program. Woodward? Doubt it. Arts magnet will drain resources.

Woodward will have smaller school + Art magnet + high FARMS. It won't be having lots of higher level courses. It's not upto parents. If you can't form classes, class won't be offered.

Even WJ will be impacted but not as much as Woodward. WJ does not have Art magnet and high FARMS. Only negative impact is lower school size when it comes to WJ. Woodward has three.

Before someone starts saying that many Art students take high level of courses, that's just coping mechanism. Look at Einstein, tons of Art students but struggled with higher level courses.

Art magnet and higher FARMS than WJ, both will drain resources.

Why is Woodward receiving an arts magnet over more deserving schools?

Why is Woodward receiving an arts magnet over more deserving schools?

What a ridiculous question. Arts magnet is the most useless magnet a school can get. Completely pointless. Only a handful arts magnet students will end up working in arts since society doesn't need hundreds of thousands art majors. This is only excuse for lazy kids and parents to feel they are doing something special while trying to avoid real subjects, subjects that prepare you for life.

And why is Woodward less deserving than other schools? What exactly makes schools more deserving than others?

In the meantime, Kennedy in that region is supposed to get real magnet (IB) but no parents in other schools will send their kids in such low performing school to attend completely unproven magnet. So it will end up being just Kennedy students, making that otherwise meaningful magnet, also pointless.

The kids don’t struggle. The admin don’t believe in ap classes and are direct about it.

WJ will have lots of changes if they lose 1/4 or more of their staff.

None of these magnets are real magnets as Mcps is not adding teachers or giving more funds.

I agree 100%. An arts magnet is a total waste of our tax dollars. They build a half a billion dollar facility and now they want to house coloring book classes in it? What a freaking joke. This is terrible.

And yes, they put the IB and Math Science Engineering type magnets on the wrong side of the tracks and reverse bus kids over to those and call it "EQUITY". What a way to treat all children -- both high and low performing.

Just waste resources.

You should instead ask "Why is any school receiving an arts magnet when it doesn't prepare anyone for a 21st Century economy?"

You all are really shortsighted. Every major school district has a high end performing arts magnet. Duke Ellington etc. There are jobs, many jobs in entertainment. Ever been to LA, NY?
