[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Area zoned for Woodward currently attends WJ.

Woodward having twice the FARMS rate means, any area zoned for Woodward should have downward pressure.

30% FARMS is way different school than WJ.[/quote]

I mean, WJ is at about 20% and extremely overcrowded. 30% in a brand new facility where kids can walk through the halls and make sports teams sounds nice.[/quote]

WJ is getting split in two HS.

One will have 15%
Another will have 30%

Take your pick, where housing will be doing better. That was the question. 50% increase in FARMS rate is a lot. 20->30->40 it becomes a slipperly slope.

Let’s get the facts right. Today WJ has about 20% FARMS. Under the newer options, WJ ends up with about 15% and Woodward somewhere just south of 30%. [/quote]

Yes, it translates to 50% increase in FARMS rate for Woodward.
It alaso translates to 25% decrease in FARMS rate for WJ.

Two school les than a mile apart.

Horrible job by MCPS and consultants. Easily could have balance( 20-22% in each) rather than concentratong poverty in one HS.[/quote]

Your numbers are more powerful than denigrating the consultants and staff. Just FYI.[/quote]

If you were at the zoom sessions yesterday you'd be angry at the consultants and staff too. I found their approach of basically just reading the same statements over 4 times and not even allowing questions to be pretty offensive and disrespectful. Huge waste of time.[/quote]

I was there. Not angry, I believe they said there would be office hours soon where you can ask questions. There are also the in person sessions.

Patience. [/quote]

It's bizarre to do a one-way webinar, not take any questions, and call it "engagement". If you're going to do that just record it and let people watch at their convenience.[/quote]

They said (I think) that they would do office hours later. Maybe they even gave dates for that. If they opened up for questions, they never would have gotten through the material they had. This is a multi step process and there is another survey you can complete.

I don’t think it’s fair to criticize them at this point for not engaging. [/quote]
