[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so a rising 9th grader would go to old HS for one year and then switch? it seems more reasonable that once you're in a school you can stay thru the terminal grade[/quote]

Presumably you mean a rising 10th grader at the time of the boundary changes, but yes, some kids would spend their 9th grade year at one school and then 10-12 at another.  If they did it your way, Woodward and Crown would start out with only one grade of kids and take three full years to reach full enrollment, which isn't really realistic.[/quote]

It's not totally unrealistic.  Guilford Park High in Howard County opened up with only 9th and 10th graders it's first year:

Although that's two grades of students, compared to the one grade which you're saying is unrealistic.

But there are schools that open without the full capacity of students.[/quote]

Yes, that is exactly what MCPS is proposing to do as well.  Honestly even that is a bit of a stretch but schools do it to make things easier for the kids.  But you want to cut that in half and run a whole high school with only a few hundred freshmen? [/quote]
