[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me how Edison and Wheaton High School work?

I thought they were distinct and separate high schools, but in this work session, MCPS confirmed that Edison's 500-seat capacity is factored into Wheaton's boundary and utilization rate.

They also talked about building out the unused shell space in the future as a way of alleviating overutilization at Wheaton.

So it seems that Wheaton and Edison are not in fact separate schools, but that Edison is an extension of Wheaton High School that is available to students across MCPS as a half-day program. Is that right?[/quote]

Yeah, that confused me too.  First it sounded like they were saying that it was based on assuming that 500 Wheaton students would be enrolled at Edison half-day, and that that's in line with current enrollment (although even that seems sketchy enough on its own since some non-Wheaton kids may choose Wheaton in the DCC because of Edison.)  But then they said something about kids from the rest of the county going to Edison half-day and then walking over to Wheaton for the rest of the day, which is not how I thought it worked?
