The fact is that Northwood expansion will do more for DCC overcrowding than Woodward will and just going down the numbers it’s unlikely that Woodward will accommodate more than 500 DCC students when it opens and that number will need to decline over time as more housing gets built in North Bethesda, which the county not only plans to do buy is also prioritizing.

Woodward will help with DCC overcrowding indirectly by dealing with overcrowding in MCPS in general. Some people sem to have this fantasy that their boundaries will remain in tact while those poor DCC kids will be bused across the county to Woodward. This will never happen. Woodward's boundaries will be carved out of those from the adjacent schools and those will also be adjusted. This cascade of adjustments can be used to help with overcrowding as it propagates through the boundaries. The county could save a ton of money on transportation by making more sensible boundaries; for example, is it Wootten that has the long narrow boundary where the school is at the far end and a separate island off to the north? People who literally live across the street from Wootten, Einstein or Blair don't attend those schools. In the case of Blair, I get it since there are no high-schools in the SE part of the county, but there others border on ridiculous.

I know this is going to burst the whole fantasy you have going on, but the closest HS to Woodward are WJ obviously, and wait for it…..Einstein, then Wheaton and BCC are each the same distance to Woodward.

I don't think that bursts their bubble at all since they were saying Woodward will draw from those schools adjacent to it. This makes perfect sense. Their boundaries will be adjusted to help offset overcrowding at schools adjacent to them and so on.

They're also among the first to scream neighborhood schools!. Guess you can't have it both ways.

Doesn’t it though since they started by saying kids from the DCC won’t be bused “across county” (it’s obviously not across county) to Woodward.

People who literally live across the street from Wootton and Einstein do attend those schools. You're correct about Blair's boundary on Colesville Road. All three of these schools' boundaries will be redrawn within the next few years in advance of the rebuilt Northwood, reopened Woodward, and new Crown openings.

Yes, Einstein, WJ and BCC are all adjacent.

Some of Wheaton’s area is immediately adjacent too. Viers Mill ES used to go to Woodward in it’s previous life.

I also didn’t understand the point that PP was trying to make. The bottom line is moving kids from the DCC, particularly Einstein and Wheaton, does not involve some cross county journey.

No, the WJ/Kensington folks will scream but they should be the ones to go.

Actually it is a pretty big trip depending on where you pull from.

Or just reading the actual stated purpose of the re-opening of Woodward Northwood is definitely going to help with Blair’s overcrowding issue but Einstein is just as overcrowded as WJ and Blair.

They aren't going to worry as much about Einstein or Blair as much as WJ and mid-county schools. Lets be real.
