I live on the edge of a cluster which is why I'm mentioning it and it's nowhere near the awesome W schools.  In our case, we live in germantown.  The study says both of the high schools Seneca valley and Northwest will be overcrowded.  There are no plans to do anything with our school Northwest but Seneca Valley will be both revitalized and expanded.  It states overcrowded at NW will be relieved by the changes to Seneca which as I see it has to mean boundary changes.  NW is considered the better of the two schools.[/quote]

Northwest is considered the better of the two schools because

1. The student population of Northwest HS is less poor than the student population of Seneca Valley HS (44% ever FARMS vs. 59.6% ever FARMS), and
2. Unlike Seneca Valley HS, Northwest HS does not have leaking roofs, overheated/unheated rooms, asbestos ceiling tiles, and drinking fountains with lead.

MCPS has delayed the overhaul of Seneca Valley HS for several years in a row. I'm very glad to see that they've finally decided not to delay it any longer.[/quote]

NW is better for more than that..  You mentioned the campus, Seneca Valley is downright scary in appearance while NW is beautiful.  NW has the Ulysses program and was top 50 schools in Maryland.  It's also safer.

In terms of boundary studies.  I guarantee they will not be busing any kids from the Matsunaga zone over to Seneca.  All that's left are the blue collar neighborhoods that border the Seneca zone.  Hopefully the will do justice and not pull the Clopper Mill kids over to Seneca.[/quote]
