It's funny how Wheaton isn't a W name once one goes down this silly rabbit hole!

Or Watkins Mill

How many kids can new Crown HS take? I have many asian friends with kids attending stonefield ES now, and they will be really pissed if they will zone to new Crown HS. To them, wotton HS is the main reason that they bought the home at the firat place.

Wootton is at 1883/2120 utilization.

Let's say hypothetically you take Stone Mill and Washingtonian area out of Wootton. Now Wootton is around 1300/2120 utilization. I don't think you're going to be able to backfill and wind up with lower transportation costs and shortened bus rides.

Now Churchill is also included in the boundary study and it looks like it needs to move an ES to Wootton to reduce overcrowding. Then Wootton will also be overcrowded and may need to move an ES to another high school.

Yes, they could move Wayside to Wootton, Dufief to QO, Fields Rd to Crown, for example.
