Springbrook to WJ, avoiding highways, 10.7 miles, 30 minutes

Blake to WJ, avoiding highways, 12.9 miles, 32 minutes

Watkins Mill High School to Wootton, 10.5 miles, 30 minutes
Watkins Mill High School to QO, 6.7 miles, 20 minutes

Are those far off from what they have now:
Kennedy to Wootton, 9.4 miles, 25 minutes
Damascus to Quince Orchard, 14.8 miles, 30 minutes[/quote]

They are already pairing Whitman with a bunch of lower tier high poverty schools from the DCC. Even BCC has its problems. There isn’t enough rich schools to give everyone a seat at one. At some point your kids will have to go to school with the neighbors you chose. What happens when the W kids reject a watered down magnet and just stay home as many do already. If the rich kids don’t opt in how many seats can they truly offer the kids who want out from the poorer schools in the cluster. You’ll have kids picking the rich school’s program even if they don’t care for the subject matter and if it is even the least bit selective the and full of slots will go to the brightest middle class kids leaving the typical poorest kids once again stuck in their home school now with less middle kids.
