The schools are very coordinated and connected.
Beyond being at the same address

Students in Wheaton High School academy can (if won the lottery) take courses at Edison that are similar to what they are learning in their academy.[2]

THIS IS A LOTTERY-BASED APPLICATION PROGRAM
ESTE ES UN PROGRAMA DE SOLICITUD BASADO EN LOTERÍA

The Wheaton/Edison Program (W/E) is for students who are interested in attending Wheaton High School and going to Thomas Edison High School of Technology for one of the four aligned career pathways. Each academy has a partnership with a complimentary program at Thomas Edison. Students are Wheaton HS students and will go to Thomas Edison in their 11th and/or 12th grade years. The potential of this program is that students will be program completers in their academy program at Wheaton as well as at Thomas Edison.

Non of this addresses the concerns detailed below:

The Superintendent's just released proposed CIP lists a capacity of 2,220 for Wheaton HS. Current enrollment is 2,687. According the the MCPS school profiles, in 2023-24 Edison had an enrollment of 968 students.

However, the new boundary options give Wheaton HS a capacity of 2,720. Under the tables for the boundary options are two notes:
1. "Wheaton HS includes the capacity of Edison HS"
And
2. "Assumes 500 students attend Wheaton HS for CTE"

Why do the boundary study tables say that the capacity number includes Edison HS and Wheaton HS? Edison has 1000 students enrolled and they only added 500. Is this because Edison is part time so it actually only has 500 spots of capacity at any given time? If so, is it assumed that a full 1000 students zoned for Wheaton will attend Edison part time from Wheaton HS? Isn't that a ton of students? And they've said Edison will still be available to other clusters so that makes no sense.

Or is it "only" 500 students zoned for Wheaton attending Edison part time (still a ton)? If Edison is a part time program, and 500 students attend that program from Wheaton HS, won't they still be at Wheaton HS for some courses? If so, why do the boundary options assume that Edison relieves 500 seats of capacity at Wheaton HS?[/b][/quote]

Send the superintendent and the BOE an email so you can sleep better at night. Nobody on here cares about this extremely minor point about one of the worst high schools in the county[/quote]

You mean nobody cares that Wheaton HS is left 27% over capacity on 3 of the 4 new boundary options and 116% over capacity on the 4th option? I'm definitely not the only person who is angry about this. [/quote]

+1. This is irresponsible with all the new seats opening at Northwood and Woodward.[/quote]

94.5-103.9% capacity for options A-D. Fake news alert. [/quote]

+1. Wheaton guy is untruthful

+2 in not convinced by his hot air either. Just hate on consultants and MCPS for the sake of it. Wheaton has plenty of capacity and resources. Two freaking schools at same address. Do they want a third?  A fourth? [/quote]

Lol you can't answer why they added 500 seats to Wheaton HS so you pretend Edison is just an empty building, not a separate HS that is current serving 1000 students from across Montgomery County. [/quote]

Grow up.  It is a seprate school and its a trade school, not a high school.[/quote]

More Wheaton kids should prob go to Edison so they're employable
Their literacy and math proficiency levels are atrocious [/quote]

To be employable they need to read and write. Mcps failed them.  [/quote]
