[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know what’s going on with WJ regarding overcrowding? Heard about a new high school to split up WJ. Sorry I am new to this area[/quote]

Lots of schools are overcrowded. So happy to hear that MCPS is prioritizing the richest kids though. 🙄[/quote]

Hate to break it to you, but WJ and the high schools in the DCC are not the richest kids in MCPS.  And, this has been in the works for over 10 years. The WJ people have been fighting for relief from overcrowding, while MCPS said it wouldn't happen[/quote]

The surrounding areas that will get chosen are the more comfortable areas of DCC.[/quote]

1. Nobody knows which areas will be chosen.
2. The "more comfortable areas of the DCC" are not "surrounding" or even anywhere near Woodward.[/quote]

Sure, we do, aside from WJ and Einstein, the other nearby school boundaries like Wheaton and, BCC since it was even mentioned in the original plan.[/quote]

You sure are persistent.[/quote]

+1. People keep mentioning specific high schools in the DCC. Woodward will relieve crowding at WJ and "the DCC". It makes sense that Einstein's boundaries within the cluster could get shifted since it is overcrowded, but, they could also shift Einstein kids to the new Northwood. It is really an unknown at this point. My crystal ball tells me that Woodward will be part of the DCC, and that it will mainly be filled with kids from its walk zone.[/quote]
