No they are not reasonable from a logistics or financial standpoint.

MCPS failed with every single one of these options.

There is no reason to do most of these moves.

A new school is opening. Moves must be done. Show us the moves you would make.

Of course moves need to be done.

Moving kids out of undererolled schools to a new school isn't effective.

Nor is transporting kids that could walk from say Kentlands to QO now to be bused to Crown or Gaithersburg. How irresponsible for many reasons.

Kids that live between 28 and Great Seneca can go to Crown but Kentlands is like I said dumb.

Taking kids out of Wooton and putting Wayside there is also stupid because of how large Stonemill is.

Without including all the Elementary schools being redistricted as well none of this makes sense logistically.

This is hands-down my favorite option! If only I could cast a vote for it right now—or better yet, nominate you to lead the BOE!

I'm pretty sure the current options will exacerbate educational inequality, but I amsatisfied. I wonder can we reduce the FARMS to 5% or even lower for Churchill?

Are we looking at different data set? For all 4 options, Churchill Asian decrease from 37% to34.7% and farm from 9.9% to 9.8%.

Yes Wootton already the most Asian school becomes more so in all scenarios. WTF makes no sense. I have a ton of Asian friends so nothing wrong with it at all, but why further perpetuate the stereotype of Wootton and increase the nicknames for it.

All these Asian families you are talking about want to stay at Wootton. And you are speaking on behalf of them saying, "why perpetuate the stereotype?". HILARIOUS. Please say it to their face.

Far from it! Currently it’s like 37% Asian at Wootton. They should all stay there as Wootton shouldn’t be touched IMO.

My comment was saying it makes little sense to make the Asian population increase at Wootton and decrease at Churchill just to move Wayside ES as the only impacted school for Churchill to Wootton. Churchill and Wootton should be left alone just like Whitman. Other than that island that goes to Wootton I can see making sense at Crown, but even that if all those people wish to stay at Wootton which isn’t crowded just let them!

Travilah and dufief should go to QO and Kentlands should go to Crown with all the other City of Gaithersburg schools.

I am hearing that this is becoming the most favored logistical option. +1

Are you saying those who live near and currently attend TMES and Ridgeview (between 28 and Great Seneca per your definition) and are in WALKING distance of QO should go to Crown instead? That is ALSO dumb, like your apparent understanding of geography.

Proximity should be prioritized so current walkers REMAIN walkers.

You are hearing from where? Favored among who?

That is very logical. North Potomac, Travilah, and Darnestown go to Ridgeview / QO. The City of Gaithersburg schools go to Lakelands / Crown. Falls Grove and Ritchie Park to Wooton.

Not gonna happen.

FG is close to Crown. RPES bring upper income to RMHS if FG moves to Crown.

I have said this for a long time, before any boundary discussion. It is the most elegant contiguous solution. Of course people have their preferences based on past experience but none of that matters in these discussions. Now Kentlands leaving is a new topic of course with Crown, but agree with City boundaries being logical here, and having enough students to fill Crown in one swath.

I live in North Potomac(zoned to QO HS), not part of kentland/Lakeland, and not part of city of Gaithersburg district. I found out that I am not part of city of Gaithersburg through classes and camp registration. Where should I belong to?

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

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

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.

Wayside is moving to Wotton. Churchill is over crowded.

Whichever HS is closest to you.
