[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if it is still this way, but a lot of families in the neighborhood used to send their kids to St Bernadette’s.[/quote]

Most Woodmoor kids are at St. B’s. If your child is not there, you will feel left out a lot of the neighborhood feel.[/quote]

I'd say that was true 50 or 60 years ago I don't think that's true now.

One of the reasons why there is a split articulation between Montgomery Knolls being a primary school and Pinecrest being the secondary is because there was just such low enrollment at Pinecrest due to the neighborhood being majority Catholic so rather than closing the school Montgomery county decided to split articulation between the two communities. Years later more families have moved in who are not Catholic and having older kids in public school.[/quote]

FYI that K-2/3-5 setup is referred to as "paired schools." Split articulation is when one school's student body feeds into two or more schools at the next level. Which actually Pine Crest also now has as a result of the recently implemented boundary change. Now, most Pine Crest students feed to Eastern, but some feed to SSIMS (those living west of Colesville).[/quote]
