Will Woodward be an automatic "W School" when it opens??

Not really. It is primarily being opened to alleviate crowding in the DCC. So it will effectively be a DCC school and could even be included in the DCC.

When did Walter Johnson HS join the DCC?

What are you referring to? This thread is about Woodard, which is primarily being opened to alleviate overcrowding in the DCC. MCPS has not conducted the boundary study for Woodward yet and while they have hinted that it will be it’s own cluster, nothing is final until they do the study and it’s still possible that they include it in the DCC.

You mean "primarily being opened to alleviate overcrowding at both WJ and the DCC"

This. But now with Whitman and BCC thrown in for good measure.

The MCPS planning documents focused on DCC overcrowding with WJ as a secondary priority.

Whitman is not being considered as part of the boundary study as far as I know. The BCC cluster is being included because MCPS is planning to build a new ES near the BCC YMCA (actually convert the former Lycee Rochambeau campus which is MCPS owned) with the purpose to use it to alleviate ES overcrowding in both WJ and BCC clusters. It will have a split articulation.

False. There was a WJ Roundtable group that was looking at Woodward reopening first, then Jack Smith added the DCC schools into the mix because they were reasonably nearby and also had space deficits.

WJ is second the sentence "To address these urgent space needs in the Downcounty Consortium and Walter Johnson High School..." Does that make it a secondary priority? I guess somebody could infer that, if they were already highly motivated to do so, and they also ignored the fact that the space need at Walter Johnson High School is the biggest by a lot (768 seat deficit).

None of this has been determined, or funded yet. There was a site selection study done, but no site was chosen.
