And it is executed brilliantly! (As a person that drives across that intersection at that time multiple times a week.)

If you live in the following clusters, the Woodward study may affect you:
Bethesda Chevy-Chase
Montgomery Blair
Albert Einstein
Walter Johnson
John F. Kennedy
Northwood
Wheaton
Walt Whitman

If you live in the following clusters, the Crown/Damascus study may affect you:
Winston Churchill
Clarksburg
Damascus
Gaithersburg
Richard Montgomery
Northwest
Poolesville
Quince Orchard
Seneca Valley
Watkins Mill
Thomas S. Wootton

Yes, it will affect the schools whose boundaries are adjacent directly but others who are adjacent to those schools will be impacted indirectly.

Oh come on, you know that TOK kids at Connecticut/Saul are better and deserve more safety than kids closer to the Wheaton border at Connecticut/Denfeld.

Connecticut and Saul isn't part of the TOK. None of the TOK goes to Silver Creek.

They’re not TOK but some on the east side of Saul goto Silver Creek (I think)

The town of Kensington's southern boundary is aligned with Silver Creek's northern boundary:

Chevy chase heights or whatever they are then. Silver creek kids get better treatment than Newport mill/einstein kids.

But the Silver Creek kids don't get a crossing guard, while the Newport Mill/Einstein kids do.

There was (and still may be) a crossing guard to manage car traffic & walkers at Newport. There isn’t one at Einstein.

that one is seriously crazy. It's the worst outcome for Woodward in terms of FARMS/EML.

worse because FARMs/EML drains resources, and MCPS and everyone knows that, which is why MCPS tries really hard to even out FARMS/EML across schools, and which is why we have several boundary options.

They actually bring resources because the state allocates funding based on FARMS and EML rates. However, MCPS does not allocate finding to schools based on the FARMS rates so rich schools benefit from funding allocated for poor kids in other schools.
