W schools will not stand for anything causing their property values and school ratings to be lowered. They have stopped it in the past (think Churchill before it became a blue ribbon school) and when a kid (typically minority) is an issue they try hard to have the child removed. And even W schools have fights (they typically have more issues with racism, alcohol and drugs).

[b]Clarksburg and Rocky Hill pull from areas that would typically feed into WM and SV.[/b] If you are actually familiar with the area then you will know that once the new SV opens there will be a noticeable difference in Clarksburg. You can take that as a positive or negative statement but it is reality. It won’t be busting at the seems either. [/quote]

What does that mean? The boundaries are the boundaries. There's no "typically" about it.

Once the new Seneca Valley HS building opens, there will be fewer students at Clarksburg HS, because some of the areas that currently go to Clarksburg HS will be reassigned to Seneca Valley HS. That's the point of the boundary study.

Planning Issue: Although a classroom addition
opened in September 2015 to accommodate the
overutilization at Clarksburg High School, student
enrollment will continue to exceed capacity by
over 800 students by the end of the six-year planning period. Enrollment also is projected to exceed
capacity at Northwest High School by almost 700
students. The Seneca Valley High School service
area is adjacent to the Clarksburg and Northwest high school service areas. A revitalization/
expansion project of Seneca Valley High School,
scheduled for completion in September 2020, will
be designed and constructed with a capacity for
2,581 students. The enrollment at Seneca Valley
High School is projected to be 1,301 students by
the end of the six-year planning period. With a
capacity of 2,581 seats, there will be approximately
1,280 seats available to accommodate students
from Clarksburg and Northwest high schools
when the project is complete.

Planning Study: A boundary study is approved
to explore the reassignment of Clarksburg and
Northwest high school students to Seneca Valley High School. As part of the boundary study,
middle school articulation patterns in the Seneca
Valley Cluster will be reviewed in order to evaluate utilizations and articulation patterns, therefore
Roberto Clemente and Martin Luther King, Jr.
middle schools will participate in the boundary
study. In order to minimize split articulations
among the three clusters, the superintendent recommends expanding the scope of the boundary
study to include all of the middle schools in the
Clarksburg and Northwest clusters in addition to 
the middle schools in the Seneca Valley Cluster. The boundary study will begin in late fall/early winter 2018 with Board
action scheduled in November 2019.[/b] [/quote]

Principal of Seneca Valley wants to bring back all of Germantown together: https://www.germantownpulse.net/single-post/2017/09/18/Officials-Break-Ground-for-New-Seneca-Valley-High-School

"Principal Marc Cohen said the new school could be an opportunity to bring all of Germantown back together. “I am excited to bring the community back together. I have nothing to do with how the boundary lines are going to be a drawn. What I do know is that when the other two high schools in the immediate area were built, the Seneca community was split to feed those schools. I love the possibility of bringing much of Germantown back together under our roof. I think it is a great opportunity for us to rebrand our community,” said Cohen. “This is an amazing gift to be able to usher in this project,” continued Cohen. “I love the idea that we are going to double in size. A big school offers us so many more opportunities for learning than a small school does. The kinds of programming that we are going to be able to offer is exciting. We have programs like Project Lead the Way, which is an engineering program, and we will be expanding our International Baccalaureate program.”[/quote]
