[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering about when Woodward HS opens 2026, and MCPS redraws boundaries for Woodward, WJ and I am assuming Einstein, are they also going to redraw the boundaries for North Bethesda MS, Tilden MS and Silver Creek MS?

For example, DS will be in MS in 2026 - what is the likelyhood he will stay with his cohort through 8th grade or will they all be split up?[/quote]

Yes, the Woodward HS boundary study will include the DCC (or at least that's the current plan).

And yes, you should assume that there will also be changes in which middle schools go to which high schools. [/quote]

DP. Though Silver Creek may not be part of it, since they're neither WJ nor DCC clusters. The middle schools I would expect to be part of the boundary study would be North Bethesda, Tilden and the DCC middle schools they're adjacent to: Newport Mill, Loiederman, and Parkland.[/quote]

The MS consortium are no where close to Woodward.  I would suspect Silver Creek would get moved to Woodward given the proximity to WJ/location.  [/quote]

Woodward to Silver Creek: 4.4 miles
Woodward to Loiederman: 4.5 miles

[/quote]

Loiederman is heavily Hispanic and low income.  They wouldn't fit into the W crowd.  Move Silver Creek.[/quote]

Exactly--that's how you get diverse schools, by combining people from different backgrounds.[/quote]

Except those kids don't want to be bused in nor to the kids there want them there.  They want diversity in terms of race, not income.  They don't want poor FARMS kids.  Read the threads over the Einstein attacks here.  [/quote]
Like it or not kids from Loiederman and/or Newport Mill are going to end up at Woodward with kids from WJ, the horror!  :roll: [/quote]

Not if the families currently at those schools have anything to say about it.  No one wants their kids bused that far. [/quote]
Please stop acting like you speak for everyone. My children are at a Newport Mill feeder and I would rather them bused the whole 4.5 miles (Omg how will they survive 😱) to Woodward rather than stay at a severely overcrowded school. I have no issue with Einstein, but if my choice is either stay at Einstein but it’s overcrowded, or go to brand new Woodward with no overcrowding, I’m taking Woodward and the 4.5 mile bus ride. [/quote]

That's cool.  I was just judging by my experience with the RM#5 boundary study when MCPS floated the idea of busing Twinbrook kids 4 miles to Ritchie Park and Twinbrook families told MCPS to take a hike.  That wasn't a new school though, so I can see what you're saying.[/quote]
Lol, sorry I assumed you were the crazy boundary poster! I would definitely be more pro staying at Einstein if not for the overcrowding problem. I don’t want my kids at an overcrowded school when a brand new uncrowded school is only 4-5 miles away. If the brand new uncrowded option was say 10-15 miles away, probably a different story, but the short distance between Einstein and Woodward makes it a no-brainer for me, but I know others feel differently.[/quote]
