DP. Well, that's almost 500, which rounds up to 1,000.

Yes, WJ is the one W that's overcrowded like most DCC schools. That's why their reopening Woodward in the next couple of years. They'll fill it up with students from its adjacent nearby schools like WJ & Einstein. |

Math was never that strong at the W's (especially Churchill). |

Perhaps the new diversity busing program could offload some of Churchill's students to Wheaton!

The crabs in the bucket mentality in this thread is sad. With a few exceptions, real rich people are not sending their kids to public schools. I see a bunch of middle class people (LMC to UMC, but middle class nonetheless) at each other's throats bickering about percentage points in diversity and taking umbrage that a school another middle class person is zoned for is overcapacity by hundred students more.
Direct your ire to the Chevy Chase Club and Georgetown Prep, not some family paying $4,000/month to live in what a lot of truly rich people consider a teardown off of Massachusetts Avenue so their kid can go to Whitman. |

| If you're only looking at the current year's numbers, you're as bad as mcps, and it's why were in the overcrowding situation we are throughout the county. You have to look 6 years out. Especially since it takes mcps 4 years to build a school (site selection, feasability, shovel in ground) |

Paying a premium with the hopes of having a public good (public education) differentiated in your favor is disgusting. |

Taking a discount with the hope the marginal local schools will offer “enrichment” isolation to replicate a higher SES environment for your otherwise normal kid is hypocritical and pathetic . You’re a bigot too just with a smaller bank account. All those silver spring people who took a 50% discount from BCC but paid 50% more not to be in PG are just lying to themselves while acting out a sour grades mob mentality. |
