No one said that. Posters are talking about house prices going down if you get rezoned from WJ to Woodward.

WJ and Woodward couldn’t be closer to each other. They’ll bus equal number of DCC schools to each of WJ and Woodward. They’re going to be identical, and high performing, schools.

Both will be lower performing school than current WJ and it will have impact on house price.

WJ 2.0 will likely pull from current BCC, Whitman, or Churchill boundaries. Makes sense if you look at current boundaries...

Why wouldn’t Woodward and WJ pull from the same boundaries? The schools are a mile down the road from each other. I doubt MCPS will create one elite majority white/Asian school and one solid but diverse one.

Woodward will have around 2700 seats and is situated between Einstein, WJ, and B-CC. The first two schools will be around 800 over capacity around the time that it opens.

It will also likely have a magnet that takes around 400 seats.

It doesn't take a genius to imagine how this will play out, but I can't imagine it will have much if any impact on Whitman or Churchill.

If that happens then WJ will remain pretty much unchanged, but Woodward will become similar to other DCC school in college readiness. If current WJ students are equally distributed between Woodward and WJ then area will have two decent HS, but both will be below current WJ level. it's simple elementary math and not sure why some posters are taking offence with this. I live in WJ boundary, but I will be fine with all scenarios. I am not selling my house to move to Churchill or Whitman.

OP, just buy in different school district if you worried about school boundaries impacting house price.

Yes I agree this has been enlightening. There is a very bright line -- nearly a Mason Dixon Line -- between the social classes in Kensington. I don't know North Bethesda as well. I've always lived on the "wrong" side and found it a wonderful community. I don't usually get to hear the unadulterated fear the "right" side seems to have for us.

Although this thread has a terrible signal to noise ratio, it was fascinating to read. Best guess Woodward will be a fine school. Don't get worked up over it.

I love all the nutty assertions in this thread. It's eye-opening, but not in a good way.
