[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:19 again, to clarify that the new Woodward high school will be great. Why? Because the families in that area (Bethesda) are wealthy. It's the zoning towards the east you want to watch out for.[/quote]

Yes, watch out for those of us who live towards the east. We could be dangerous![/quote]

I used to live in downtown Silver Spring. I visited the schools there, before deciding to move to Bethesda. I have friends in SS, who send their kids to school there. Sure, the curriculum is the same. Some teachers are wonderful. With involved parents, a determined child can succeed in any MCPS school!
But come on. The level of achievement, engagement and culture is simply not the same as in wealthier public schools. If my friends could move, they would.

And before someone starts whining that it's all to get away from Blacks and Hispanics, it's not that. My friends and I are multiethnic and diversity is important to us. Luckily, downtown Bethesda has a ton of international families. My daughter's elementary holds a MultiCultural Night with a parade of flags, where close to 50 nations are represented each year.

We get it.  Some of your best friends are diplomats of color![/quote]
