Which option makes this 13 percent FARMS in QO HS?

I am lost in all 4 options.

Option 4 is the most extreme one which definitely has no chance.

Extreme for who? What school are you at?

Option 4 makes a lot of sense to me. It is the best option by far.

Either way, we all know the reason it doesn't work is because of all the split articulations. This happens because they left ES out of the scope of the study. Let's go to the root cause of the problem and solve it there.

Ritchie Park is split in half still in option 4. Kids lose half their friends in a school that is already small.

Also how does any of this work for CES assignments? Right now, it's by cluster/cluster group. For example, if you go live in Falls Grove and go to Richie Park, your CES enrichment location would be Barnsley. Would that stay that way in an option that splits the Fallsgrove Island out to Crown? I'm sure other situations like this exist. It's as if the BoE didn't have a clue what they were doing and just pulled a DOGE by telling AI to make a boundary map

Some of the splitting is less than ideal but it probably works for everybody except for Falls Grove.

Is it because your house is not rezoned to crown in option 4? Option 4 makes no sense for most schools.

In this thread, Wayside parents should be happy that there is no nuclear option like option 3 in Woodward where you get shipped to Gaithersburg HS to balance FARMS.

Wayside going from Churchill to Wootton should be a non-event for most families. Not sure why so much noise. Wootton is equally good school.

The neighborhoods moving from Wootton to Crown seems like the the biggest losers in the Crown options.

Yes, it’s a big loss for many people, not just on property value but also having to leave friends and attend a brand new half done school without auditorium. Many uncertainties especially for the 9th graders who have to leave on whether the new school offer the same rigorous courses, club/sports activities, etc

Hundreds of kids have had to move schools due to boundary changes. Your kids will be alright. Sheesh.

Where? You lack basic empathy for affected kids.

Where? Have you been living under a rock? MCPS has had a few boundaries redrawn in the past 10 years.

My kids moved schools, including across the country. They are fine. Yes, it will be hard at first, but they will adjust. It's not like they are moving all alone. Your entire neighborhood will move. Sheesh. I hope you teach your kids more resilience.

MCPS has very limited redistricting but even those changes have left lasting impacts. In Clarksburg, families rezoned out of their expected schools are still deeply upset. Even the residents from the Ritchie Park, who were reassigned to RM decades ago, still express long-standing resentment now. Many continue to speak about the emotional toll and lasting mental harm they experienced from these redistricting decisions. These concerns should not be taken lightly.

well, they need to get over it. And it wasn't about the kids; it was about their home values. Of course, moving schools is not easy, but the kids will get over it if you let them. Your attitude impacts them more than anything else. Teach your kids to be resilient.

-HH resident with old time neighbors who still do talk about it. BTW, some of those kids who are now adults live in the RM cluster, and send their kids there.

Their property values dropped as a result of redistricting?

Yes , it did. Back then RM was not a good school.

It still isn't. Non IB scores are lower than QO.

Overblown. What does it mean to be a good school? If you also removed Twinbrook, scores would probably increase a lot because Twinbrook has a very high ESL and FARMs population. The ESL barrier alone likely makes the difference. It doesn’t make Twinbrook, JW, or RM a bad school, but just reflects on scores overall. If your child’s first language is English and you have a higher household income, your child is much more likely to score higher—regardless of the school.

JWMS scores > Lakeland MS scores.

Fallsmeade splits to 3 middle schools and 2 high schools. Less than ideal? Unacceptable!

I am in Churchill for all four options. Let me summarize this for you.

Fallsgrove does not like option 4 because they go to Crown.
Stone Mill does not ike option 1 because they go to Crown.
Dufief and Falls Grove do not like option 2 because they go to Crown.
Stone Mill and Kentlands do not like option 3 because Kentlands goes to Gaithersburg and stone Mill goes to Crown.

I've been the one commenting on the splits issues here and mentioned Fallsgrove. I don't live in Fallsgrove. I am just looking and seeing where this whole setup is just bad because of splits
