[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what's shocking to me is how high FARMS Woodward HS could end up relative to the other schools in the study, could be up to almost 50% FARMS and as low as 14% white. That's shocking to me considering I thought the majority of its students would come from WJ. Option 3 significantly cuts FARMS at Einstein and would make it whiter than WJ, and it also significantly diversifies Whitman.[/quote]

That’s because they are sending current WJ kids across county to Kennedy and Wheaton (who could walk or easily take public transportation to Woodward) in an effort to have every school down county have balanced (but high) FARMs.

Don’t worry about the bussing - it’ll be fine for the kids. Don’t worry about parents without cars that will never be able to make it to a school event either as they would have to take public transportation across county.

Because newsflash, not everyone at current WJ is as rich as they think and many live in apartments with limited transportation.

Except Whitman of course. Don’t move them ever. They are a pristine island unto themselves.[/quote]
