It's over. Woodward and Tilden are not going to be as good as WJ and North Bethesda. They will be high FARMS. Don't try to tell me that's a good thing. It isn't[/quote]

Nothing is over. If FARMS is the only measure you care about, under two current options Tilden numbers will even slightly improve ([b]Woodward is different story[/b]). Only option 3 is catastrophic. And options will be modified. So this whole "earthquake is coming to Tilden zone" is very premature.

Today Tilden is not as good as North Bethesda but that disparity may not deepen at all. [/quote]

not the PP you are replying, but that's the mian story to be honest.

Right now Tilden area kids attend 18% FARMS HS. They will be attending 35-45% FARMS. Earthquake is already there.

Look around what happens with high FARMS schools.

35-45% FARMS isn't high FARMS. It's at or slightly below average for MCPS.[/quote]

County average has been going higher with time. Some time later even 60% won't be high because county will be at 80%.[/quote]

20% is tipping point on FARMS for decline in education outcomes. They need to modify to get Woodward at 20% range. Modify option 4 to send Viers Mill to WJ instead. Send GP to Woodward. It balances out enrollment. And alleviates Wheaton overcrowding. That's the solution. [/quote]
The solution is not to have large, countywide school systems.[/quote]
