[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Crown gets a good start with STEM. It will ensure that scholl will have enough stem oriented kids to have ability to offer higher level science and match.

Situation looks very bad for Woodward. Woodward gets a poor start with not a single Stem/Math/science focus.

With very high FARMS in Woodward and adding visual arts, performing arts, communications etc,  this school will not have enough STEM oriented kids to offer higher level courses.

A win for Crown and loss of Woodward. With high FARMS rate and focusing on drama and drawing, school becomes drasticalyl less attractive for any kids intereted in STEM.[/quote]

How do you know this? Is it part of the Regional magnet materials?[/quote]

Region 3:

Woorward - Visual arts, Performing arts, Design & Communications

Region 5:

Crown - Science, Math and Computer science

Crown will be an awesome place for STEM oriented kids. Woodward will be just opposite. [/quote]

Looking at it, I agree with the above observation. Looks like Wooward will be the second Einstein in the area. I think Einstein will be losing IB and no IB in Woodward. Both are high level of FARMS comapred to lets say WJ. Both will be having art programs without any STEM focus. Likely to end up as two simialr schools. Right now, Einstein used to egt some movitaed kids due to IB, now it will be gone as well.

Crown got a far better end of bargain here and it will help the school to start strong.[/quote]

If Einstein is losing the performing arts [b]there is no reason to go given they have watered down academics[/b].  They just ruined Einstein.   Losing the IB is fine as only a few graduate with degrees.  [/quote]

The same watered down academics will exist in Woodward.[/quote]

Einstein is pretty low. I thought enough motivated kids are present in Einstein. I am surprised to see it with Watkins Mill.[/quote]
