Is it real? Churchill vs Wootton vs Gaithersburg and QC?

For the option H articulation tables it has Crown/Wootton in Region 4. As another poster mentioned, if they move Wootton/Crown out, Region 4 would only have three schools. The Option H Articulation tables document is also indicated as under QC. So maybe they're looking into shifting things around. But remember Dr. Taylor claimed that if the regional models resulted in any inequities, they can't/won't look into it any further. So if there is a region that seems bad enough where you'd protest your school being put into it, instead of trying to throw another school in there and have them be in a region you find undesirable, maybe protest the six regional model. This way every school can have access to the already establishing countywide regional programs. And maybe they can look into increasing the amount of seats and also improve the already existing programs at the other schools like Kennedy. As well as making sure all students have access to the desired higher level classes. |

Motivated but not too motivated. Want to be in an easier school for college admissions competition. |

| To me it just sounds like Wootton parents are already assuming Crown will be a bad school before it even opened. |

Uh why wouldn't it be? Montgomery county is mostly illiterate except in a few intelligence islands |

Polished language will say friends communitities blah blah.
For some it's FARMS rate and propety values. For some, it's not even FARMS rate because Churchill and Wootton have low FARMS rate and equally good schools. It's just snobbish attitude. - Churchill Parent This. Churchill thinks the white people are superior to Asians. Asians think higher FARMS = kids that disrupt their kids' learning environment Let me get this. Whites' desire to segregate is driven by their evil superiority complex. Asians' desire to segregate is driven by their passion for learning. Racial tropes like this are not helpful. The ironic thing is that they are mostly pushed by white woke idiots. |

I think it is less about Crown being bad vs. Region 5 being definitively bad with no established programs. MCPS not promising to invest in any new programs - no teachers, no dollars, no facilities. Just programs in name only. That doesn't include the bussing details either. |

But I think there really are class differences between Potomac and other areas. Where I've often noted that when we go to activities with a good amount of Potomac families, you just see the differences in the cars in the parking lot and how much money those families pour into activities(which also makes it hard to stay on level with the kids in those activities). So can kind of see why Potomac families wouldn't want to change schools. Of course not everyone in Potomac is rich or live that kind of lifestyle. But I can see why people would think otherwise. |

The median household income in Potomac is $240K. I don’t blame them not want to move their kids to another HS (except Walt Whitman maybe) |

You see they know that the school "brand" thing is like a BS in real estate. They have trotted it out for years, "Which school'd you go to?", "Rockville", "OH wah wah". Now they are faced with having to explain that Crown is a good school you can get a good education, but "wah wah", it doesn't have a name brand. Caught in their own doo-doo it seems. |

Oh another anti Asian racist taking a swing at Wootton. How original!!! Listen, you can move our entire student body to Crown and Crown will be the best school in the county because of our capable students and super engaged parents. I know it’s hard to believe that there are successful minorities out there. Wootton doesn’t have a name brand. You know what it has? A school profile. A college admissions counselor looking at our school profile submitted with transcripts will draw all the right conclusions. We don’t say “oh wah wah” because it’s Rockville, we say “oh wah wah” because we know that our college admissions outcomes will be better. |

Hey look there's a FARMS kid, better sell your house. |

This is one parent's perspective - and it is no less valid than any other parent's perspective. Unfortunately, MCPS has already decided what it wants to do. The only real factor is voter backlash against local politicians whose career trajectory could be derailed. Another one could be the loss of high-income earners who pay county taxes but decide to move to Northern Virginia for better schools once they're zoned out of the MCPS school for their current house. |

No FARMS is coming to Crown under option H or any other option so stick your virtue signaling where you have a stick stuck. |

Get in line. With WFH anyone that can manage to sell their home is packing their bags. Especially those of us in the average school districts. |

Overall Results
ELA (literacy): 57% of MCPS students scored proficient — higher than the state average but still meaning nearly half of all students are not reading on grade level. Math: 35.7% of students met proficiency — an increase from last year but still indicating that nearly two-thirds of MCPS students are not yet meeting math standards. There’s a multi-billion dollar backlog for repair and renovation — even a proposed $2.7 billion plan over six years would still only cover half of what’s needed. There’s a multi-billion dollar backlog for repair and renovation — even a proposed $2.7 billion plan over six years would still only cover half of what’s needed. 2035 (10 Years From Now) If Nothing Changes at Wootton The building is nearly 65 years old and long past normal life expectancy. Aging systems move from “poor” to “critical failure.” Parts of the school may become unusable: Classrooms closed Bathroom wings offline Auditorium, gym, or labs restricted because of air or electrical hazards Daily disruptions become normal: canceled rehearsals, relocated AP tests, emergency evacuations, repeated closures of rooms or corridors. MCPS spends millions on bandaid repairs, which delays true renovation even further. Wootton becomes an equity embarrassment: top-producing academic school in one of the wealthiest counties—but physically neglected. Families who can leave leave; the county loses trust. |
