New Woodward High School

[Anonymous]

The areas of Einstein that will be rezoned to Woodward will bring more students than is currently realized. I know some parents out that way who currently send to private and said they would enroll their kids in public school if they get rezoned to Woodward.

Perhaps, but what they're saying is nevertheless true.

BCC is fine with their kids sitting on a cell tower gas generator to watch lacrosse games. They will be perfect for Woodward.

If they live closer to Woodward they'd be Woodward kids not BCC kids. We're all for a neighborhood schools right?

Too much wine this evening? They won’t be anything if the gas generator catches on fire in the 4th quarter. What do you call kids injured at a football game?

Yes, whenever possible, people should be assigned to the closest school. This allows the county to spend less on transportation and more on education. It also fosters neighborhood schools. Despite what seem people think right now, many people are not assigned to the closest school.

The only part of the BCC zone that would be closer to Woodward than it is to BCC is the very northernmost bit, and that bit is actually closer to Einstein than it is to Woodward, or BCC.

I would think most of the Western third of Einstein's boundary is going to land at Woodward to help with overcrowding. BCC's recent addition probably reduced any overcrowding there for the time being but it's possible some minor changes to its northern boundary could indirectly help with overcrowding at other nearby schools. In the end, we really don't know how this will play out, but I don't think it's anything to stress about.

But the problem with that is the westernmost part of Einstein's boundary is the Rock View area, and the Einstein walk zone covers most of that area. They're not going to reassign students who are walkers to become bus riders. They will likely reassign those who are already bus riders to Einstein instead.

I would think Rock View is the only Einstein feeder not a candidate to be rezoned to Woodward. It will be interesting to see which of the 4 other feeders will get rezoned, there are different arguments for all of them. To me if there is real determination to ensure the makeup of Woodward is more diverse, Highland ES will probably be a top candidate, although some of their students are in the walk zone for Einstein.

DP. I think many Highland students would also be walkable to Wheaton HS, so if they're reassigned anywhere it might be there. So they're probably not getting bussed to Woodward either.

They could zone Wheaton feeders to Woodward, since they are the most convenient, and then maybe move Highland to Wheaton? Who knows? They do seem focused on increasing overall space in the DCC and using the flexibility of the consortium to even out enrollment across schools.

WJ, Wheaton, and Einstein. That's it.

and BCC which is also adjacent

If the intent was to include BCC along with WJ and the DCC to populate Woodward, why would the plans never mention BCC? It wouldn’t need to be some kind of deep state secret.

The plans DID mention BCC at one point, and BCC parents had a hissy fit (see the Lyttonsville Master Plan or Sector Plan, I forget). BCC was then removed.

They don't need to mention it. It's adjacent to Woodward and the DCC, so it's part of the solution whether some parents like it or not.

Here is the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Cluster chapter of the new CIP:

https://gis.mcpsmd.org/cipmasterpdfs/MP23_Chapter4BethesdaChevyChase.pdf

You can read all six pages and you will not find the word "Woodward" included on any of them.

Because BCC is so special it doesn’t need to be mentioned when WJ and the DCC are specifically mentioned?

Yes it's obvious since it's between these entities and part of MCPS.

Because MCPS is so well-known for doing what's "obvious" with school boundaries?

The school sandwiched between the two areas mentioned seems likely going to be part of the solution, but nobody really knows. This is just an educated guess.

For those of you who keep insisting BCC is part of the Woodward plans, despite MCPS saying otherwise, what options can you even create that would make sense?
Most BCC feeders have areas which are within BCC's walk zone: Bethesda, North Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase, and Somerset, so why would they reassign those students to WJ or Woodward, especially when BCC itself isn't overcapacity? Westbrook, if it ever would be a candidate for reassignment, seems far likelier to be assigned to Whitman.
