[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a totally made up thing that exists almost exclusively only on this website I think, so sure why not.  [/quote]
No, it's not.  
The W has been a thing way before DCUM even existed, even before civilian use of the internet. [/quote]

Perhaps.  But I have never once heard it mentioned or discussed outside of this website.  And I’ve lived in the DMV for over 20 years and MoCo for over 12.[/quote]

I grew up here and attended MCPS. The term was used in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. The old Woodward with neighborhoods such as Luxmanor and Farmland was considered a W school. The boundary selection will determine if Woodward will be considered a W again. If diversity is the objective, then no, it will not be a W school.

As a pp correctly pointed out, the land was donated for educational purposes by the Woodward family. The name will remain with the school.[/quote]

My understanding is they are using Woodward as an opportunity to adjust all boundaries of nearby schools to help diversify many of the less diverse ones. [/quote]

They’re not messing with Whitman or Churchill, are they?[/quote]

The #1 priority of the boundary study was to improve diversity and those are the least diverse schools...[/quote]

The #1 priority of the boundary study was to relieve overcrowding.

Diversity was one of the factors considered, but this repeat poster has their own agenda and their own little fantasy world.  [/quote]
This is inaccurate. No one factor was prioritized over the others.

“The Districtwide Boundary Analysis is an initiative designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of Montgomery County Public School boundaries by analyzing various data points such as school facility utilization and capacity, student demographics, and school assignment and travel patterns.”[/quote]
