[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly: Just how much better is Whitman than Walter Johnson ("WJ"):

1) academically, 
2) sports-wise, 
3) aesthetically (campus, buildings, neighborhood)
4) "the arts"
5) college placement
6) student happiness
7) teachers who care[/quote]

They're pretty similar on all those counts. In fact, you're just splitting hairs. So pick the school for whichever community appeals to you r family more.[/quote]

Good to know.  Homes in the Whitman district (literally a few blocks away from similar/identical homes in the WJ district are notably more expensive so it made me think... [/quote]

One of the reason is WJ rezoning. Whitman is also part of boundary change, but only small change is possible there.  WJ may become part of DCC or simply take 2 elementary schools from DCC. A much larger change is possible in WJ.[/quote]

WJ will not become part of the DCC, I'd imagine some families who live closer to DCC school may land there, though. However, I think BCC may end up in the DCC since it was originally part of it until the parents complained but it is the most downcounty of all moco high-schools.[/q

NP- what does becoming part of DCC mean? I am contemplating moving to the BCC cluster. My kid would start at Westland MS this Fall. We could also move to Whitman cluster, but am looking for more economic diversity, but still want strong academics.[/quote]
