[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for the hysterics in this thread who think WJ and Woodward are going to somehow both turn into 4/10 schools and the whole real estate market in North Bethesda, Garrett Park and Kensington is going to crash: Can you please explain the logic behind MoCo and the state government purposefully tanking two public high schools in an area that they're priming as the main site in the state for Amazon's HQ2? That makes absolutely no sense at all.

Look at the map. The only elementary schools that make sense from the DCC to go to Woodward are either Rock View ES or Viers Mill ES. Combining kids from these two elementaries with kids from WJ and some kids from BCC is not going to result in test scores plummeting and the high school being a 4/10 and your property values plummeting. Langley Park is zoned for Blair and a lot of kids in Blair are excelling and home prices in Takoma Park are booming. Calm down. You're living in one of the most desirable counties in the entire country, in one of the most desirable public school districts in the area and you're close to a city that is recession proof. Your home values are going to be fine and your kids are going to be alright. Breathe.[/quote]

MCPS is not going to care about house prices or Amazon. That's not their job. MCPS is simply going to look at over crowding issue because that's the biggest issues right now. Woodward will have 2000 empty seats. BCC/Whitman will provide maximum 200-300 students. MCPS still needs to fill Woodward with minimum 1500 students leaving some capacity for future.

Mixing 1500 DCC students with 1000 WJ students shouldn't result in 4/10, but it won't result in 8/10 either. It's simple math. 6/10 high school does matter for many parents and it will be surely less desirable for anyone having kids. [/quote]
