Could Churchill's boundary change due to Woodward?

No, Churchill is not part of the Woodward boundary study, but it is expected to be part of the Crown boundary study.

Whitman is more daddy or mommy is a high level gov't employee or high level VP type money. As far as academics and extracurriculars, not much difference, but each has its specialties.

So Churchill has better kids

If Better = Richer

Is it really rich? There are a lot of private schools nearby. But yes , more money reduces single moms and crime

They are both very (extremely) wealthy compared to most publics. The homes in Whitman's district are worth more per sq foot. Churchill has more mansions though.

It's interesting that you consider 32% to be majority Asian-American. The plurality demographic group at Churchill is non-Hispanic white, at 43%.

While we're at it, let's look at the elementary schools in the Churchill cluster:

Bells Mill: 27% Asian-American, 8% 2+, 41% non-Hispanic white
Seven Locks: 26% Asian-American, <5% 2+, 49% non-Hispanic white
Beverly Farms: 30% Asian-American, 9% 2+, 45% non-Hispanic white
Potomac: 33% Asian-American, 11% 2+, 39% non-Hispanic white
Wayside: 41% Asian-American, 6% 2+, 38% non-Hispanic white

Asian families go where the good schools are. Churchill is an excellent school. As a PP noted, accurately, there is a decent amount of middle-class housing in Potomac that is a factor too.

WHERE??

This is hilarious.

No, Churchill is not part of the Woodward boundary study, but it is expected to be part of the Crown boundary study.

As with Whitman, a sizable portion of Churchill's catchment boundary corresponds with the river (and with Whitman). As such, that limits the possible avenues for changing its boundary.

Because Churchill was included in the Crown study but excluded from the Woodward study, that suggests to me that any changes to the Churchill boundary would be made to the northern portions, and not the eastern or southern portions.

Does anyone know if the boundary studies for Woodward and Crown will be looking at just changing the composition of the elementary schools (but leaving their boundaries) or also changing the boundaries of the elementary schools as well as the middle and high schools? Or are all those options (and others) possible?

That's kind of laughable. They're really not different at all. In fact, most MCPS HS are the same let alone these two.

Sorry to disappoint you but it has to change. The days of segregated schools @MCPS are over.

The Woodward study will consider MS and HS boundary changes only, not ES. The scope for the Crown study has not been authorized yet. It should be happening sometime next year.

The current CIP includes other five high schools and Churchill is not one of them. Even if MCPS does include it, the worst case is that a small portion goes to Wootton. It’s not a big deal.

The lines between Churchill, Wootton, and RM could be redrawn.
