Source? That sounds like BS.

That's one of the options for Woodward and listed by MCPS.

There is strong possibility of that given that Woodward's main aim is to help DCC and WJ.

Yes, but it's just one of the nine ideas that were presented.

1. Conduct boundary study to reassign students to Woodward
High School

2. Eliminate existing Downcounty Consortium and create
boundary-based assignments with Woodward High School

3. Conduct countywide boundary study with all high schools
including Woodward High School

4. Create a centralized magnet school that would attract students
from across the county

5. Application process or audition process (such as performing arts)

6. Include Woodward HS in the existing Downcounty Consortium

7. Create a new consortium that includes Woodward HS

8. Use a general lottery

9. Use a weighted lottery

Given that MCPS has clearly stated the aim of opening Woodward is to help with overcrowding situation in DCC and WJ, Including Wodward in DCC is the most direct and effective way to achieve it. Magnet or lottery will get students from every place, but focus is to help DCC and WJ. That's the stated goal by MCPS.

+1

It's likely that Woodward will be a part of DCC.

It is one of several options being considered. We don't even know yet who will be on the BOE when the decisions are made. You can speculate all you want, but no one knows what will happen.

Woodward will not become part of DCC. Keep dreaming.

Reality starts with a dream. DCC needs one good school. Ideally, BCC, WJ and BCC should join DCC.

Calling it downcounty when it doesn't include the actual downcounty schools seems absurd.

B-CC is a a GS 7 and WJ is just an 8. Both are mediocre. Overall Blair does much better than any county school in terms of college admission and academic awards.

You do realize Blair has about 100 STEM magnet spots per class that is likely skewing your conclusions right? If you use that logic, then everyone should be looking at Poolesville HS too (the other magnet).

”Strong possibility” and “one of the options” =/= “likely.”
