What ever happened to Crown HS?

I'm guessing you haven't seen the Gaithersburg #8 boundary study results? Take a careful look at how the boundaries were drawn at the ES level. Since most parents never scrutinize which ES they're assigned to, they don't know when they've been royally screwed.

The question once Crown opens is whether MCPS will split off R10 kids from their ES / MS classmates as walkers, or (more likely) will they continue on to Gaithersburg HS (in which case that sucks for them since they live next to Crown and Rio and would normally be walkers), or (even more likely) is this the lame excuse that MCPS will use to bring equity by giving the Forest Oak MS kids bus rides to the brand new Crown HS across 270?

In case you weren't aware, FOMS is 90% non-white with over half Hispanic and about a quarter Black, 78.7% FARMS, and 20% ESOL. However, FOMS is best known for only 18% having minimum proficiency in math, 28% minimally proficient in english, a 5.5% MIDDLE SCHOOL drop out rate. It's the perfect way for MCPS to lower MS-13 issues from Gaithersburg HS, while pumping them into the Rio Washingtonian area.

If that happens, I'm sure the community in and around Rio will appreciate the gang members hanging out after classes in their community. Combine that with reassigning kids from Travillah or other Wootton feeders and voila! It's instant Equity and parents won't be able to do anything about it! It will be like the Jim Cary towing truck scene from Liar Liar...

If MCPS does redraw FOMS into Crown, it will definitely boost the school-to-prison pipeline. Rio, storeowners and the surrounding community housing have sufficient police presence and security cameras to arrest misbehaving students. In the end, Crown may have a bigger student suspension rate than even Blair does. But that might be what MCPS is aiming for? Dunno.

I don't get it. So many of these assignments are random and favor busing over neighborhood schools. For example, look at Cold Spring ES, it's much closer to Frost than Cabin John. This makes no sense.

Not true. Cold Spring to Frost is 2.8 miles, Cold Spring to Cabin John is 2.6 miles

Actually both are about equidistant and a negligible difference when considering what was done to Gaithersburg #8.

What are you suggesting? Gaithersburg #8's new boundary looks fine. The surrounding neighborhoods were zoned there and aren't split-articulated.

Yes, really. All of the zones surrounding #8 were assigned to #8, and all of them will articulate together to Forest Oak. If you're complaining about that, I don't know why.

How much "equity" do you believe the current MCPS board will enable?

This! Every BOE candidate should be asked whether or not they value proximity as the most important factor like 90% of the county said.

C'mon, facts: 90% of the handful of self-selected respondents to an online survey.

Looks like a good portion of Lakewood is within the Wootton walk zone.

Fact - MCPS does most of it's corruption without fully notifying all parents, then asking for their input before making their decisions.
Fact - most parents are working and think MCPS is acting in their best interests, not on some personal agenda to boost friends and family.
Fact - the current board and co keeps falsely claiming that parents valued diversity over proximity.

Posters like you are out of touch. You have your opinions and really don't care about anyone else's. The arrogance is deafening.
