Using the same gas stations and shopping at the same grocery stores has no bearing on high school social dynamics. If 3/5 of a HS went to MS together and the other 1/5 segments each went to separate MSs that puts them at a pretty clear social disadvantage. Would you want your child to be part of either of those 1/5 of the HSs population? I know I wouldn’t.[/quote]

Tilden has 300 students per grade. North Bethesda MS has about 400 students per grade. I'm guessing they're not all besties.[/quote]
Right but the Tilden kids have a large cohort and the North Bethesda kids have their large cohort. You realize that’s not remotely the same as taking one feeder each from 2 different MS and dropping them into a HS where the other 3/5 of the students went to MS together, right? Why is it so hard for people to look at this logically and realize yeah that would be less than ideal for those kids?[/quote]

So you'd have a high school where each grade consisted of 200 kids from Middle School #1, 300 kids from Middle School #2, 100 kids from Middle School #3, and 100 kids from Middle School #4? And this would be a disaster because?[/quote]
This would put Woodward over capacity, since 2700 is capacity. So it would really be more like 400 or so kids from middle school 1 and then 100-150 kids from middle school 2, and 100-150 from middle school 3. So yeah, that is a less than ideal situation for the kids from middle schools 2 and 3. [/quote]

Seriously? This kind of thing happens all the time. It even happens in MCPS.[/quote]
