There is a reason schools are put in the consortium. It is a mechanism to give middle class parents hope that even if they buy is a lesser zone that there is hope for a better school helping to prevent economic flight as suburban poverty has crept up as the cities have become vogue again. It also allows for load balancing as numbers swing wildly when you have lots of dense low income housing in a particular area.

[b]If lots of DCC kids end up at Woodward and it is positioned as an overflow school it will simply not be well regarded and its metrics will reflect that.[/b] [/quote]

What does this even mean? Whether it is placed in the DCC or not, it will not be an "overflow" school. It will primarily serve the student population living within 2 miles of its location. It is not that big. It is not going to be able to take tons of out of cluster DCC kids.

My crystal ball says it will be part of the DCC with some sort of magnet. It will be like other popular DCC schools where most students are within its boundaries or part of the magnet program. There won't be a lot of room for choice kids in its non-magnet program.[/quote]

My crystal ball says there is no way they would add Woodward to the DCC while leaving WJ, BCC, and Whitman as standalone schools.[/quote]

Your crystal ball is broken. The DCC needs help and this is an easy fix. The W’s getting messed with would cost people their jobs. They will take the low hanging fruit and give a rockville school to the DCC.[/quote]

Woodward is in [u]Rockville[/u]? I had no idea. How fascinating. Does the City of Rockville know about this?[/quote]

It has a Rockville address.

All that means is that USPS mail is delivered by carriers who are based out of the post office on Rollins Ave, which actually is in Rockville, just barely.[/quote]

OK? How is this relevant to the conversation?[/quote]

It's relevant if you're using the USPS zip code as the basis for declaring that Woodward is in Rockville. [/quote]

Please don't make us get into another Rockville/North Bethesda debate here.[/quote]
