[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When will Woodward open? I meant when WJ won't be over crowded? [/quote]

Excellent question.  The current prediction is two years from now, but that depends on the construction for the other school staying on schedule.  It's already slipped back 2 years from the initial schedule.  And even then they will probably only move sophomore and freshman, so it will be 4 years before the full transition to whatever the new normal is.
Even after Woodward opens, WJ is still going to be pretty crowded, and they won't be able to fit all the kids in the cafeteria even then, I think.  They will go from insane, unsafe overcrowding to ordinary MCPS incredibly large and crowded HS.  
We bought in this neighborhood 15 years ago and they were already talking about a plan to fix the HS problem.  I never imagined that my kids would actually be done with school before it was even slightly fixed.[/quote]

WJ will not be over crowded or even pretty crowded once Woodward opens

Woodward slipped back 2 years before construction started (delayed funding, because, there's never enough), then slipped one more once under construction - it will open in in Fall of 27 and won't be delayed further.  It's already open and working for Northwood, they are just working on phase 2 now (additional parking, fields, auxiliary gym and auditorium)[/quote]

I know that but what is the northwood building is not done on time?  I just don’t think you can say anything is 100% especially with labor shortages and tariffs  and the county in a budgetary crisis with furloughs and rifs.  
And it will still be a massive school that will send lots of kids to wildwood for lunch.  It will not be technically overcrowded but I think it’s going from llle 3000 kids to 2200 kids or something like that, and the cafeteria doesn’t fit anything near that.  So for the purposes of this thread…..do not expect the Woodward reopening to eliminate the issue of WJ kids at G Squate and Wildwood for lunch.  [/quote]
