[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't really care about academic "reputation," but what makes you so certain Woodward will have inferior teachers and course offerings? [/quote]

Because WJ already have established advanced classes and will have humanities magnet. Good teachers will prefer to stay with what they know vs going to a new school to face challenges. Yes, Taylor and co are saying that all schools will have almost the same advanced classes but it never works like that in practice. I hope I am wrong, but I am afraid that Woodward will struggle to attract enough interest among students to offer advanced classes as many students will run to WJ for humanities or Wheaton for STEM. Art magnet will hurt everyone except true art prodigies.[/quote]

You are naive to think teachers will have so much choice. Taylor has a list of every teacher and their certification areas. He will move teachers to fit his new programs and building enrollments.

Many of us bound for Woodward are more concerned with the rollout of the new boundaries from 2027-2030. Will the first year really just be a full grade 9 but only grade 10 students outside of the DCC? Taylor promised consortia students could finish their programs and that current grade 8 students in the DCC wouldn’t have to move.
