This isn’t about Wheaton. Wheaton doesn’t have the artsy reputation that Einstein has. The students who go to Einstein take it seriously as career paths.
It would be a nice option for smart kids into arts. Wheaton has higher level math and science. Einstein is very limited.

Einstein needs to be torndown and redone. It's a dump. The auditorium is tiny and they have to have multiple concerts for each group because they cannot fit everyone in. They could go up with Einstein.
Einstein is a good school. Worrying about graduation rates isn't the issue. They need to get rid of the IB program and bring more AP's and higher level classes.
Based on demand, they could also use another STEM magnet or 3.

Wheaton is about to get its own arts and cultural center. We should be talking about how WHS, Kennedy and Einstein students can leverage and use this center as a resource student enrichment instead of insisting MCPS be on the hook to build and run everything, which they're not good at and simply isn't feasible.
Here are details about the art center which is coming:
