[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given Woodward will host special program for Drama, Art, Media etc having 35-40% FARMS will result in high achiveing kids leaving for WJ or Stem program in Wheaton. It will result in fewer kids who can take higher level courses and they will have no choice.[/quote]

STEM at Wheaton - is it a good program? Comparable to Blair? I am so upset they are dividing us in 6 regions. [/quote]
.

Wheaton is the top high school for enrollment into UMD's School of Engineering. It's good - great principal.[/quote]

Yes, that was due to picking good students from 6 DCC HS. I suspect situation will change now.[/quote]

Was it criteria based?

Woodward/wj will provide many many smart kids that would easily fill the program at wheaton[/quote]

What will happen to kids who are not able to join, even fewer courses in Woodward?[/quote]

Taylor promises that all students who meet the criteria and apply will be able to move to these programs. That’s what I think his projected enrollment charts are bogus. We know what schools kids will move to based on the school’s demographics and programs offerings. Any current 5th grader in compacted math only has Wheaton as a HS option until MCPS adds new HS courses after IM[/quote]
