[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're cutting off your nose to spite your face. If you drive the wealthy and educated away then you won't have enough money for your utopian schools. You won't be able to sustain your dream of mediocrity. [/quote]

MCPS has one job, and it's to educate the children who live in the county. It's not to maximize tax income, GreatSchools ratings, or home values. If every single child in the county was a poor immigrant, MCPS would educate them and would be fulfilling their mission. If every single child in the county was a wealthy white child of two lawyers, MCPS would educate them and would be fulfilling their mission. They literally don't care about maximizing wealth or reputation, nor should they.[/quote]

Agree here. People are way off the mark if they think MCPS will care about ratings of Woodward or WJ when drawing boundaries. 1600-1800 DCC students will join Woodward and WJ in any possible scenario. Test scores and ratings of schools will go down, but MCPS is not going to focus on that. Their job is to provide education to anyone present in MCPS.[/quote] Woodward will likely draw up to 1k students from WJ and another 800 from Einstein. Also likely another 400 for a magnet program. That leaves 500 seats tops. Given its proximity to BCC which will also be overcapacity again by 2022 seems likely they’ll get those remaining seats. [/quote]

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Besides WJ, the most likely transfers to Woodward are from Wheaton, not Einstein. There are a bunch of neighborhoods that used to go to Woodward that now go to Wheaton, like Randolph Hills and Viers Mill Village.[/quote]
