[quote=Anonymous][quote]Can someone explain this from the start? Just moving into Chevy Chase or Bethesda and trying to figure out how to tell if my child would be attending the new middle school, and if the new school will be better or worse than the existing two.[/quote]

RE: "the existing two" - there is currently only one middle school in the B-CC cluster: Westland. It is already overcrowded and slated to get uncomfortably so over the next decade.

[quote]If you are in that district and your kid is below 2nd grade today they will, if not they go to Westland [/quote]

RE: "If you are in that district" - redistricting, i.e. deciding which elementary school clusters will attend the new middle school vs. which ones will stay at Westland, will not occur until way after the site selection process.

The superintendent wants the new middle school to open by August 2017. There is a lot of information here: [url]http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/facilities/REM/[/url]

Now for the opinion part of this post:

[quote]What's wrong with the properties on that list? Why are these neighborhoods so hysterically opposed to having a middle school in their midst? We're not talking about a psychiatric institution or a maximum security prison; we're talking about a school that would benefit the community itself. I just don't understand the attitude at all.[/quote]

I TOTALLY agree. My husband and I shared pretty much these same exact thoughts in a conversation yesterday.
