Great as long as you are not in Kentlands.

why

Busing the Kentlands to Gaithersburg or Crown is just absurd. Not that I’m not enjoying the maga there whose tiny racist brain cells are exploding about these new boundaries but because they are fiscally irresponsible of the county and stupid. Kentlands walks to QO there is no reality sending them to the other HS makes sense logistically or fiscally.

As for Dufief yes

As for Stonemill out of W again no because W is already under enrolled. And the mapping logic makes no sense either.

They will do the worst possible senerio people get ready for major bussing.

You realize parts of dufief, stone mill and Travilah of basically equidistant to Wootton? And Dufief has maybe 35 kids per grade TOTAL. Dufief is part of the Wootton community, has been since forever. They don’t want to move schools. Moving them doesn’t help anything. Wootton is under enrolled, as you said. Just leave dufief alone.

How about just leaving Wootton alone. Why does MCPS create 4 options just to generate fights between different ES within Wootton? That’s pure evil and community dividing. Crown is built to alleviate overcrowding of other schools and Wootton is not overcrowded. None of the four options change diversity of any school so just leave Wootton alone. Don’t make the poorer neighborhoods in Wootton to pay the price just to satisfy this diversity game.

In this case, which school neighborhood should zone to Crown HS?

Crown neighborhood, QO, RM, whatever left is overcrowded

Why should they? Parts of the current Wootton boundary is very close to Crown. It should have the boundary redrawn. Makes no sense to have that little island going to Wootton when it's close to Crown. Redrawing boundaries is not about not upsetting people.

Neighborhoods near Crown are currently zoned for Wootton. Makes sense to include it.

Only part that makes sense is that triangle. Not stone mill not lakewood not Dufief not Travilah

Yes, agreed! I don't see how the various proposed changes to the Wootton cluster help anything. As far as I can tell, they are moving out people who want to be there and moving in people who don't. These seem like changes for the sake of changes and nothing else. If the goal here is populating new schools to reduce overcrowding, there's no need to touch Wootton (though I'd be OK with adding some people to alleviate overcrowding elsewhere).

Parts of those areas are closer to Crown than Wootton. I thought people wanted proximity as much as possible.

No that is only a bunch of townhouses and maybe some apartments. Not enough to play with Wooton. They should go to crown they are in waking distance but to take Stonemill out of wooton one of its largest feeders is stupid logistics. Wooton is under enrolled.

? You or a PP said to leave Wootton alone. I said there are parts of the Wootton cluster that are nearer to Crown HS, so why should Wootton cluster be left alone.

Also, again, some of the neighborhoods near Stonemill and Dufief are closer to Crown than Wootton, as an example. I thought we didn't want kids on longer bus rides.

All four options added the whole Wayside ES to Wootton, so Wootton is not under-enrolled when that happens. Wayside doesn't want to go to Wootton anyways. They should leave both Churchill and Wootton alone.

Why isn't Frost included??

So, Churchill and wootton cluster stay the same is not fair and it is not an option.

Because DuFief is not geographically close to Wootton. There are many other neighborhoods and schools that are closer and DuFief is very close to QO. Why dont you care about neighborhood schools and geographic proximity like all the other parents?

Sure, neighborhood schools. That’s why three out of four of the dufief options have split articulation and bus them all over. And they make massive changes to Dufief while making more minor ones to the surrounding Travilah and Stone Mill. I’m sure it’s really about neighborhood schools and geographic proximity and not at all about the fact they think DuFief will just sit quietly and not fight this.

Dufief is already bused farther away to Wootton and Frost. Many parts of Dufief are within walking/biking distance to QO. Not sure what you mean by "bus them all over". I think we get it, you don't want you children going to school with poor people.

Sounds like you are stuck on option 1 and not paying attention to the rest of them and all of the split articulation that goes along with the other options. That is terrible for kid’s mental health. And no, QO is not a school with poor people in my opinion. However, I did pay a premium to buy in a certain district, based on historical zoning, and I won’t act like that doesn’t matter.

How does this premium work in a school district? Can you not buy a house in the new district that you prefer, and now you will have two premiums, more better than before?
