[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is new to mcps , she was private schooled from k-8 . Our home school is Northwood HS . Last year we did not know anything about the choice process for the dcc , and when we ranked the schools we had disregarded transportation issues because we were under the impression that mcps would provide an adequate transportation to and from school . The ranking went : Blair , Einstein , Wheaton , Kennedy , Northwood . The results come around , and my daughter receives her third choice (Wheaton) . She is a freshman now at Wheaton . When we looked at the bus routes the only available stop was 20 minutes away by walk and she has to walk along and across a very busy road . In addition to this , for her to participate in extracurriculars , she takes 3 buses home after school . I am unable to drive her to and from school every day I have a work schedule . We filed an appeal last week stating this and requesting to be transferred to Blair , her first choice , and I’m worried they will reject it and she has to go to Wheaton another year. Do you think it’s likely they will accept our appeal ?[/quote]

Blair is like 500+ seats over capacity now. It seems unlikely they'll put any new students there. You may want to select a less crowded school.[/quote]

I keep hearing about how Blair is so overcrowded , if that is the case why do they accept so many freshmen from all over the county to come to their school ? I’ not sure what constitutes as overcrowded when the school’s teacher to student ratio is only 17:1 Only 3 students higher than the county average[/quote]
