Direct your ire to the Chevy Chase Club and Georgetown Prep, not some family paying $4,000/month to live in what a lot of truly rich people consider a teardown off of Massachusetts Avenue so their kid can go to Whitman.



Paying a premium with the hopes of having a public good (public education) differentiated in your favor is disgusting.


Taking a discount with the hope the marginal local schools will offer “enrichment” isolation to replicate a higher SES environment for your otherwise normal kid is hypocritical and pathetic . You’re a bigot too just with a smaller bank account. All those silver spring people who took a 50% discount from BCC but paid 50% more not to be in PG are just lying to themselves while acting out a sour grades mob mentality.

If you're only looking at the current year's numbers, you're as bad as mcps, and it's why were in the overcrowding situation we are throughout the county. You have to look 6 years out. Especially since it takes mcps 4 years to build a school (site selection, feasability, shovel in ground)

Perhaps the new diversity busing program could offload some of Churchill's students to Wheaton!


Stop trying to make "fetch" happen, Gretchen.

Yes, WJ is the one W that's overcrowded like most DCC schools.

That's why their reopening Woodward in the next couple of years.

They'll fill it up with students from its adjacent nearby schools like WJ & Einstein.


Nope. Current numbers:

WJ: 273 over capacity
Whitman: 232 over capacity
Churchill: 245 over capacity
Wootton: 34 under capacity


Wheaton: 321 under capacity (last year's enrollment/this year's capacity)
Watkins Mill: 255 under capacity


This year's enrollment/capacity:
Wheaton: 151 under capacity
Watkins Mill: 287 under capacity

According to the CIP, WJ will be 497 over capacity in 2021-22.


DP. Well, that's almost 500, which rounds up to 1,000.


Math was never that strong at the W's (especially Churchill).
