[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a poster on all these Woodward threads who is constantly insisting on redrawing the BCC boundaries to incorporate more of Silver Spring. Wonder where that poster lives?

They're not going to redistrict the northern part of the BCC catchment because that's where they just put the new BCC MS (Silver Creek) after an ugly debate about elementary assignments.[/quote]

The problem is B-CC's borders both Woodward and Blair. One school has the capacity the other lacks it. It's hard to imagine this isn't a serious option, but we're not zoned for either school. Nevertheless, they seem pretty comparable, but I'd give the edge to Blair mostly because of the better overall college admissions and more in-depth coursework. Only problem is Blair will be close to 1000 over capacity by the time Woodward opens. [/quote]

Except B-CC's zone doesn't border Blair's, it borders Einstein's. And no one borders Woodward because it has no borders yet.[/quote]

That's funny because the county's maps for these schools show that their boundaries are adjacent in western Silver Spring.

Nope, look again. Woodlin ES zone is adjacent to B-CC, and feeds to Einstein. The B-CC/Einstein boundary cuts right through the Summit Hills apartments. Blair is further east, on the other side of Colesville. I think if any ES in the area is rezoned, it could be Woodlin, since it's not particularly near Sligo or Einstein.

Sorry but you're mistaken. The map shows they're clearly adjacent. Some students in Eastern Chevy Chase and West Silver Spring) go to B-CC while their neighbors go to Blair.[/quote]
