There is a reason schools are put in the consortium. It is a mechanism to give middle class parents hope that even if they buy is a lesser zone that there is hope for a better school helping to prevent economic flight as suburban poverty has crept up as the cities have become vogue again. It also allows for load balancing as numbers swing wildly when you have lots of dense low income housing in a particular area.

If lots of DCC kids end up at Woodward and it is positioned as an overflow school it will simply not be well regarded and its metrics will reflect that. [/quote]

The DCC has a lot of cleanup to do. Right now, everyone flocks to Blair, Einstein and Wheaton. Those schools are over capacity and hard to get into. Northwood and Kennedy are the laggard schools and they're under capacity.

If Woodward is going to be added to the DCC, then I imagine it will just keep Kennedy and Northwood at the bottom of the pile as the less desirable schools within the DCC. So for that reason, I hope it's not in the DCC.[/quote]

IKR! It's Ganglania!

All the DCC are the laggard schools, a few are merely more desirable compared to the lesser options those parents are zoned to. Good schools are not part of a consortium. The county is structured this way for a reason. [/quote]
Well, the best school in the county that produces the most scholars by far, the most NMSFs by far, the most winners by far, the most influential by far, the most ivies, the best college outcomes, the crown jewel of the county, is in the DCC.
The ones in the Ws (looking at you Churchill and Whitman) are the county's embarrassments.[/quote]

[b]The sad part is even you don’t believe that[/b]. But go ahead and take pride in the handful of west county kids they bus in for a magnet program designed to prop up an otherwise mediocre school. That is what the program was designed to do after all.

You know why they are no consortiums in nice areas? Because everybody already got into their first choice. [/quote]
What don't I believe? These are facts, why shouldn't I believe them? I believe in facts and reality unlike you who prefer fantasies and alternate facts.[/quote]

If Blair was desirable then all the west county parents would buy up the few nicer neighborhoods zoned for it in historic TP and Sligo Park hills and price most of you out. [b]Instead they pay a premium not to send their kids to the DCC.[/b] Those are the facts. Truth is the DCC over inflates it pride as a form of sour grapes. You didn’t want those schools anyway.[/quote]
Actually, they paid premium to segregate themselves but fight teeth and nails to get their kids into Blair.
Blair is the most desirable school of all of MoCo and its crown jewel. 
It is what it is.[/quote]
Let’s be honest, Blair just isn’t Whitman now is it?[/quote]
Correct. Blair is what Whitman parents wished Whitman was. Hence the Blair envy.[/quote]

6 attacks, 7 dangerous substances, 1 insubordination disruption, 3 fighting, 4 threat, 6 weapons, 26 suspensions, 23 calls to the police, 2 lockdowns at Blair?

Whitman had one safety incident, one suspension, 12 police calls (a third of which weren't crime-related)?

What exactly do Whitman parents wished it had from Blair?[/quote]

I know Whitman is out of control these days. There was the kid chasing people with knives and then all the drug overdoses. The only thing that tops that are the non-stop hate crimes.[/quote][/quote]
