[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi,

I have seen rumors about Ft Sumner and possibly Springfield moving to Westland/BCC after the new middle school opens.  Is there any truth to this? We have been house hunting in west Bethesda/CC (for commuting/logistical reasons for both of us, going east of Wisc Ave isn't as feasible) that feeds to BCC (which we'd prefer to Whitman).  There have been a number of homes of interest popping up in Sumner but we haden't been seriously considering them.  Would love to know if anyone knows anything, and/or where we should be looking to stay on top of developments.

Many thanks!

They have said that middle schools will still tie to high schools and no high school areas will be affected. Don't think of this as load balancing living areas but as load balancing Westland middle specifically. They took one high occupancy middle school and are splitting it in two and will balance it with busing and SES considerations between it and the new one with all of those kids still going to BCC so it is a net gain of 0 for BCC but the middles will have theoretically have half the kids .

That said if in the future they make a high school change Brookmont, FT Sumner, Sumner and the like would be looked at being the southern most boundary of Whitman. That said it could also play out the in different ways where WestMoreland Hills come to Whitman and the northern border is sent to Potomac. Who Knows but it is a great area no matter how it plays out and while getting sent to BCC isn't ideal it isn't like it is Einstein[/quote]
