I hope you had other reasons. Moving in the middle of school year out of fear of being moved to a brand new school that is nearby and that will still have majority of students coming from the same area, two years from now, is an insane overreaction.

The people moving are moving so their kids can stay at the schools they’re currently at. (Making moving “in the middle of the school year” kind of irrelevant). They’re not the people whose whole elementary school is moving to Woodward. They’re the families caught up in the new split articulations.

WJ student population will be cut in half. It will not be the same school as they will lose a lot of staff and offerings.

Very true. But people don’t want their kid to be one of the only 10 out of 350 8th graders going from NB to Woodward. It’s not about Woodward v WJ. It’s about being the “new kid” when all your MS friends go somewhere else.

Is it really 10 kids? If so, they should just offer those kids a COSA. That's ridiculous. I would apply if I were them.

On that topic, what is the take on the current WJ principal? She indicated that she will work closely with her Woodward counterpart.

Not a fan. But maybe she has an impossible job with a school that big.

They will deny COSa because they need to fill those sits at Woodward

How do you think kids feel who have had to move to a different HS all along? Many residents in MoCo are transient and rent versus own their home. My parents divorced and I had to move to a different HS than any of my JHS friends and it all worked out. Your snowflake will be fine.

This was on the WJ community, who successfully lobbied for Woodward to open to alleviate WJ overcrowding. Now parents are wishing that back?

Waa, my life wasn't all that great so your kid should also have a shitty time in HS - fool

It wasn’t shitty. I met new people that I’m still friends with decades later. We also had a brand new building which was very excited. Principal helped us feel pride in doing all the firsts, setting a good example and taking care of the building. Different does not equal bad!
