I did notice that actually. VM won the lotto at the expense of incumbent WJ families

I must say that I am a VM parent (kids aren’t in school yet - still young) and I do feel like I’ve won the lottery. If not for the well established academics and ranking of WJ, then definitely for the general perceived better-ness over the DCC and the surrounding schools. And I can only hope that Woodward will be a great school considering it’s half of the population of WJ with parents who are clearly quite vocal and will be listened to by MCPS leadership (mostly because of the whiteness and richness of said parents). If anything, I assume my house value just went up by 100k.

Through all this chaos I do feel like we might be the only people who came out with a better option than before, but maybe I’m way off. Only time will tell.

VM families definitely won the lottery! I think our home values will actually go up by more than $100k

The only downside will be that your kids’ classmates won’t be allowed to visit your house. (I grew up in a similar position and it was painful.)

Some of the families may have the same income levels but there will be a clear divide.

Doubtful.

They absolutely will if option D is chosen

Option B is best for all those impacted.

Why is North Bethesda the ONLY middle school slated to be over capacity in all 4 options?

WJ is not elite or exclusive, it’s just RM with a slightly lower FARMS rate. WJ doesn’t have the estates of Potomac, the old money of Chevy Chase, or the elite of River Road in its catchment. The nicest homes in WJ are just $2M cookie-cutter homes that look like they were designed by a 5-year-old that were built in the last 10 years. WJ mostly consists of Rockville, Rockville pretending to be Bethesda, and parents with huge inferiority complexes because their neighborhoods are within biking distance of DCC schools.

Also, the entry price to WJ isn’t anywhere near $1M. You can still easily get into WJ with a budget of even $800k to $900k, and in fact, most families didn’t buy their homes for $1M+, they’re just sitting on newly founded equity.

I am an Einstein parent ( zoned for Wheaton) but - wow - what a disgusting comment. You must be really proud of yourself. Therapy is in order. Or church. Maybe both.
