How will Wootton or RM be affected by new high school in Crown Farm?

[Anonymous]

I live in College Gardens. I don't feel close to Crown
I take 270 to get there. We get on 270 at Exit 6. Crown would be Exit 9. At least it would be against rush hour. I don't think our neighborhood is hoping for Crown.

The idea of all of Fallsmead going to crown is equally self-serving since it's on Wootton Parkway (hint, it's closer to a different high school - can you guess which one?). Only a small jerrymandered sliver is in Crown the same way that a jerrymandered sliver is in CJMS.

RM wasn't even part of the original intended study, so if it's been added I'd out to MoCo Show who's got their fingers in the cookie jar.

And anyone who says "overcrowding" is a reason for Crown is fibbing. There was a thread about one or two years ago that went through the boundary study capacity charts. You could redraw boundaries on the county northern, western and southern boundaries pretty easily.

So the real question is whether the Hungerford CO crowd will monopolize Crown? I hope they're all fired before that happens. I'm sick of the CO treating MCPS as their own personal piggy bank. They gotta go.

I didn't see previous mention of Fallsmead in this thread, but while Fallsmead itself is right next to Wootton, it's also fed by an island consisting of the Washingtonian towers which are right next to Crown. BOE has mentioned they want to avoid introducing new split articulations, but it probably makes sense in this specific case to do so and continue sending those towers to Fallsmead ES, but to Crown for HS.

Note that ideally the towers should go to another closer ES as well, but ES's are not in play for this redistricting, and Fallsmead is a great school that would be underenrolled if the towers were removed.

Someone with very poor critical thinking skills believes that employees of BOE want to rig districting of a $300M construction project so that their children will go to slightly better schools.

Did they break ground on Crown yet?

Yes, and there are several more of these "islands" very close to Crown. This could also lead to split articulations for Rosemont, Ritchie Park, Diamond, and Jones Lane.

Yes, construction has started.

You are misinformed. You have to go back to 2015/2016/2017 timeframe when there were additions planned at 4 surrounding high schools and Jack Smith said that was stupid because the cost of those 4 projects was more than the cost of a new high school. That’s when Crown was added. There have been a lot of housing and demographic changes since then. Combine that with a pushing out of the original timeline and it may not seem as necessary as it was for overcrowding, but that’s absolutely the original reason Crown was put in the master plan.

They will be removed 100%. HOA at the Tower already informed. My mom lives there. The Rio area will be Fields to Crown. It's ridiculous they even go to that cluster now. Same with Travilah. So far away

Because RM uses their IB program to keep up the numbers and keep it a "good" school.

RM is a good school beyond the IB program. It has King Farm, Fallsgrove, Ritchie Park, College Gardens, Woodley Gardens, etc. The number of kids who take and pass AP exams is very high there.

Please don't spread misinformation. No elementary schools are included in the boundary study. This means elementary school assignments will stay the same as they are now. The Fallsmead island will stay at Fallsmead, but could be reassigned to another MS and/or HS.

As long as they reduce segregation of these schools nobody cares...

This thread is full of individuals, yourself included, who are so invested that they're fabricating scenarios to be upset about, acting as if these situations are real.

Obviously you don’t know how to interpret data…
