| are churchill and wootton upset about the loss of entry to the Blair magnet? |
| I can't believe they are going to send 500 more students to Damascus but they won’t expand the school until 2031. |
The FARMS and EML rates go down at both Churchill and Wooton in most, if not all, of the options. |
and where do they go up? what's wrong with FARMS or EML kids? |
| Yet again, they beat up on Dufief. |
Probably but the RM IB will only be them, RM, and Rockville. I don’t see them letting MCPS reduce the size of it so they’ll basically get the best program in the county all to themselves. |
Gaithersburg, Northwest, Seneca Valley. |
No, the new options mingle a lot of split articulation and re-assignment of ESs between Wootton and Churchill. So they will fight each other. Dufief and part of Fallsmead are splitting out from Wootton to Crown, which is really bad news for those two ESs. |
| I believe the part of Fallsmead going to Crown is across the street from Crown on an island. So that leaves Dufief. |
If I read it carefully, all kentlands/lakelands are going to Lakeland Park MS and Quince Orchard HS in 4 options. |
I see. So Fallsmead folks should be more or less ready for this change. Dufief is getting a big hit. |
No, dufief going to Crown all options |
| Stone Mill ES all going to Wooton HS in 4 options? They decide not to touch Stone Mill ES? |
Not really. Someone (like me) are more worried about the exacerbation of pressure-cooker environment in the future when the top achievers can't choose to leave. The new STEM program together with a stronger RMIB will undoubtedly make Region 4 the best in a few years. If Blair teachers can choose to move, they will move to Region 4. |
That's exactly what I said... |
