[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will also be new middle school and high school boundary lines/assignments starting in 2027 (your daughter's 6th grade year), by the way.  So I wouldn't make any huge sacrifices for a given school because you never know if it will actually be the one she'll be assigned to by the time it's time for her to attend.[/quote]
In Silver Spring? [/quote]

Yes, all the DCC high schools and their feeder middle schools are included in the Woodward boundary study, as is BCC, which covers part of Silver Spring.[/quote]

Only the tiniest slivers of downtown Silver Spring goes to BCC. It was a historically black neighborhood and low income apartments gerrymandered into BCC’s zone to integrate it to the point Bethesda successfully lobbied the central office to close rosemary hills in the early 80s when the county was closing schools from the population shrinkage. They only acquiesced when the feds threatened to pull county funding.  Funny part is those historically modest homes in rosemary hills are now some of most expensive in Silver Spring (Woodside non-withstanding) and being snatched up not by lower SES people of color looking to get in to BCC for as cheap as possible.
