MCPS schools face closures as enrollment rates decline

“Too many schools, too few students,” a problem that MCPS is more than well aware of. For the first time in over 40 years, student enrollment in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is declining, leading the Board of Education (BOE) to determine which schools should be shut down and consolidated. Due to declining birth rates and changes in demographics across the county, more schools are experiencing low attendance rates and more vacant space. The conversation around closing and consolidating schools has been thoughtfully looked at over the past couple of months, although MCPS has recently brought attention to the public.

North Point girls flag football falls in semifinals; Calvert High headed to finals

One year after its inaugural season could be largely described as patently mediocre, the North Point High School girls flag football team was clearly among the most improved squads in the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference this fall. On Tuesday evening, the Eagles came painstakingly close to completing an improbable journey when they suffered a 32-26 setback against defending 4A/3A state champion Clarksburg High in one of two state semifinals. North Point (12-2) had actually scored first on Tuesday then the Eagles countered a Coyotes’ answer with one of their own for a 12-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. One year earlier the Eagles endured a modest 4-6 regular season then won a pair of regional playoff games before falling to Wise in the region final. This year North Point was the SMAC regular season champion and later upended Wise in the region playoffs and Tuesday it hosted the state semifinals against the two-time defending state champions. “We’re definitely heading in the right direction,” said North Point second-year coach Davon Muhammad, a Gwynn Park High alum who is also the College of Southern Maryland women’s basketball head coach. “This team improved considerably from last year when we only

Woodward High School prepares to reopen in fall 2027, nearly 40 years after closing, the school is beginning a new chapter in a history that has long been intertwined with neighboring Walter Johnson High School.
