Older sibling went to Wooton, graduated, and now we moved. Younger sibling starts HS soon.

Oldest just graduated from Wootton and he has a younger sibling in 5th grade. Unfortunately, we recently moved about 10 mins away but into a different school district (QO).

My youngest is entering MS next year. Is there any sort of exception with MCPS given to siblings for a feeder school given not living in that area?

Based on what? Your older child going to Wootton? You moved into a different boundary area.

[Anonymous]

No. why would there be?

Uh, no. Why would there be?

By the time your current 5th grader is in HS, the boundaries between Wootton, QO, Crown, etc may be different anyway.

None whatsoever.

No, and certainly not after many years.

What was your plan when you made the move? Did you think you could still attend Wootton?

Not really relevant to this but I have seen a case where a neighbor of mine (QO district) had 2 girls go to Wootton b/c their step sibling went to Wootton (at the same time) - they got an exception from MCPS.

So yes, MCPS does give special exceptions to families for certain scenarios. However, I don't think yours qualifies. Might want to check with them.

The op has one child in 5th grade. No other in mcps.

Because the legacy of your older child established a Wootton dynasty for your family?

That exception is for siblings who are currently enrolled, not for graduates.

Why did you move if you wanted your youngest to go to Whooten
