Look at the projections (currently to 2029-30):

WW/BCC/WJ
Capacity 6992
Enrollment 7359 (367 over capacity, or 5%)

Blair/Northwood/Kennedy
Capacity 7308
Enrollment 7302 (6 under capacity, or 0%)

Einstein/Wheaton
Capacity 3839
Enrollment 4756 (917 over capacity, or 24%)

This includes new Northwood capacity but not Woodward. And WJ has all the overage in the first set -- WW & BCC remain under capacity (and could take on some small amount of shift). And Blair has all the overage in the second set, while both Wheaton and Einstein are over in the third. This is versus current catchments.

Even to get to that enrollment = capacity for the middle three, you'd need to bus large numbers past Blair and up to Northwood, shifting some of Northwood to Kennedy. And that's with none of the overage from Einstein & Wheaton -- all that Northwood & Kennedy capacity is used already.

This means large portions of Einstein and Wheaton will need to go to Woodward or shift to BCC, presuming Woodward naturally assumes more of the existing WJ catchment than needed to alleviate WJ's overcrowding. Possibly even some of the lower Northwood and Blair catchments to even out the enrollment vs. capacity once Woodward's 2160 comes online after Northwood moves out (the additional 540 might come online in a later phase, now, if funded). That's 882 seats across 8 high schools in 2029-30, and we know that the DCC is likely to continue growing faster than WW/BCC/WJ after the current projection timeline, so there might be greater shifts than some anticipate.

Unless the Ws keep up the pressure, of course. Then we'll have the expected: overcrowded DCC and under capacity Ws, with no solution for inside-the-beltway/east of the MARC tracks.

Why is it expected that Ws will be under capacity and DCC over when Woodward is being built to relieve overcrowding at WJ AND DCC?

Isn’t that why there will be a massive boundary study involving all these schools?

Woodward is not going to be just for WJ students. Current DCC students will go there too

It's about that "don't send those students over here" influence that has WW folks trying to keep out of the study altogether (they don't want the hoi polloi from BCC), the BCC folks trying to limit any consequent shift from Silver Spring and the WJ folks on the Woodward side saying, "Sure, maybe nicer parts of Kensingson, but not further over -- they're much closer to Einstein and Wheaton so they should stay there!" in the face of the prospect of larger swaths of those catchments being shifted to be with them. And then there's the prospect of a broader or reconfigured consortium arrangement that might result from all of that.

MCPS, for its part, has been swayed in the past by such influence (e.g., BCC being "saved" from being part of the original DCC, with focus shifting more north-south than east-west). It also has walked back rhetoric that brought Woodward reopening to the table in the first place, initially more broadly inclusive of handling DCC overcrowding, then more limited, with thoughts that DCC-area draw to an eventual magnet at Woodward might be all they would implement. (That might get placed elsewhere, now, with the last Woodward phase in jeopardy, or abandoned altogether.)

We'll have to see, given the numbers, but if past is prologue, then the expected might be as above.

Yes, it's misleading to say that since Woodward isn't even in the DCC or near it. It would make almost no sense to bus DCC kids crosscounty. There are much easier solutions.

It remains to be seen whether Woodward will be a W like Whitman or just have a name that starts with W. It’s not off to a good start, having had its construction budget cut twice.

It would make so much more sense if they would just build the addition at Einstein too.

Einstein is ancient. It needs fully replaced, not an addition. They could easily add on top.

Einstein isn't ancient. It's a year older than Blair.

Have you been in Einstein and Blair to actually compare the two? Einstein was built in the 1960s and renovated in the early/mid 90s. The renovation mainly included adding on a new gym. There are lots of spaces in that school that indeed look ancient. The auditorium and performance spaces (like band room) have not been touched since the 1960s. The cafeteria was never enlarged. Blair had an entire new building built in 1998. Nobody would walk around these two schools and think Einstein was built at the same time as Blair. Newport Mill is even more embarassing than Einstein. It is just a FU to all of us zoned to Rockview/Newport Mill/Einstein.

Given the distance it's doubtful that a lot of DCC students will go. Maybe the Town of Kensington and those more toward Rockville, but otherwise, no. Its probably the W under capacity as they are getting two new schools.
