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

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?

Wootton and QO are both in the same school district (MCPS).

You can ask for a COSA, but there is a 99.99% probability that you will be refused, considering that the child who attended Wootton has now graduated.

My second child attends Bethesda-Chevy Chase high school, which is our in-boundary school, even though my first graduated from Walter Johnson. We are not entitled to educating our second at WJ.

As PP said you can apply for a COSA (change of school assignment) but you have to prove that you have a unique hardship. Many families get denied the first time and just keep appealing.
