[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a bit curious, but why do so many posters in this thread think wood is a bad middle school? My son is an 8th grader at Wood and he hasn't seen a lot of bad experiences with the school. Any reasons to why?[/quote]

I’m an earlier poster. Both my kids did fine at Wood but there wasn’t anything great about the experience. I don’t know how much that’s the environment at Wood itself or just that middle school is a tough time. Both kind of sailed through academically and stayed out of trouble, but I’m friends with a few parents whose kids struggled. When DS started at Rockville it did seem like a breath of fresh air (and I’m not the poster who originally wrote that) - he was excited to actually be learning things in classes, enjoyed sports team, became more involved socially, got engaged in new activities. He does complain a bit that it’s the same old group of kids he’s been with since 6th grades, but for a kid who was eager to apply out of the cluster in 8th grade, it’s a nice surprise to see him so happy where he is.[/quote]

I would say to have the Rockville HS community a bit larger in terms of the boundary updates regarding Crown HS, have some portions of the Wheaton cluster change so that their students instead will attend Rockville (specifically for the households that are zoned for the Brookhaven ES), as well as a small portion of the Magruder cluster that's right up north from the ICC.[/quote]
Crown boundary analysis does not include Rockville HS, I don't think.[/quote]

It's not, and that's what I'm saying. The Rockville HS cluster is somehow lucky that they've avoided boundary changes and I think cluster needs boundary changes. Basically saying, because of the school's small size, they should overgo some boundary changes. I'm not sure if the schools capacity size has already reached the limit, but I found a source that shows the capacity and projected capacity size for the entire school cluster.

I think the school would need some updating if it were to accept a considerable increase in student body. It’s not one that has had a recent renovation [/quote]

RHS had a major renovation in 2004, which would be considered recent compared to many other schools in MCPS.[/quote]
