[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am new to this discussion.

Can anyone summarize how big a downgrade Tilden area going to Woodward will be compared to WJ?

Is Art is done deal for Woodward or some chane of Stem oriented programs can still happen? \

If Whitman safe from all these changes?

It’s not.  It’s will be another w school. [/quote]

W school in name with 30% FARMS.

Woodward Art school will be a big downgrade from WJ let alone Whitman.[/quote]

Wait, is 30% FARMS the level of FARMS people have been freaking out about this whole time??

From the discussion I had assumed we were talking much higher.[/quote]

You missed the point. 30% FARMS is not going to be closely resemble any W school so saying that it will be another W school is just misleading. Some peopole will be fine with 30% FARMS rate, some will be unhappy and some will freak out. For com[arison, WJ will be 15%. You may think what's the big deal in 15 vs 30 then some one may think what's the big deal vs 30 vs 45. But it's a huge difference. If you are in school with 60% FARMS then all these numbers will look good to you.[/quote]

Okay.  It sounds like there’s going to be a good cohort of capable, motivated kids at Woodward.  Even with an arts magnet.[/quote]

That's the best hope. Hopefully motivated kids are not trying to get into WJ or some cases Wheaton for STEM. If that happens then Woodward will be left with smaller number of motivated kids.[/quote]

Off course some will leave for WJ and Wheaton. Hopefully, enough motivated kids are there for higher level courses in Woodward Art school.[/quote]
