Enough already with the W obsession

The Woodward family, who donated the land for the school, have insisted that the Woodward name remain. Remember Tilden at Woodward? They could do that, but the Woodward name will remain

They haven’t gone through the naming process yet. When they reopened Belt MS it got renamed to Loiederman.

The real question is what criteria will DCUM insist on to consider it a W? Name? Demographics? Test scores?

Yes, as above, it had an excellent reputation then, and will remain the same when it reopens

Yes, it was considered in the same peer group back in the day and will be again.

Not to mention the DCC’s Wheaton.

I live in the Einstein cluster and am just as happy not to be part of the W clique or wannabes.

Wannabe High School would also be a "W School."

Yes, unless they give it a different name that doesn't start with W.

Also, there is no such thing as "South Rockville," either you are within the boundaries of Rockville or you aren't.
