Isn't 18 months optimistic? I feel like even the new RM elementary school boundaries took longer than that... And there will be 10 times as many angry people when it comes to Crown.

That means MCPS will start the boundary analysis in late 2024 or early 25 in order to start in Fall 26? Yikes. 2022 seems more realistic unless MCPS is just railroading it through? But they'd still need to pick the teachers at least a year before to prepare, and planning curriculum / courses least a year before that to know what teachers they need. 2022 seems like the latest they can start on this?

They want to limit the political fallout to as short a time as possible.

Exactly. Pro-busers have taken their foot off the gas pedal because they know that the can get busing done piece by piece with little resistance instead of all at one. Crown will bust up QO and Wootton while Woodward will bust up WJ, BCC, Whitman, and Churchill.

Wootton will be under capacity by 2026. Not sure how to justify that while RM, Gaithersburg, QO and Northwest will all be over capacity.

The area right across Fields Rd from Crown HS is currently zoned to Wootton. That is why it will be included in the boundary study.

Certainly hope that’s the only area impacted by crown.

? No, all the surrounding clusters will be impacted.

Have you seen the cluster maps. It's a cluster f*

There's a dental joke somewhere in that post.

But no, MCPS is not going to build a whole brand-new high school and then not reassign anybody to it.

Wootton will probably lose existing kids to Crown but gain kids from RM. RP kids are the closest but TB kids would offer more balance and are not that far.

no way will they pull RP neighborhood to Wootton.

My prediction: based on the current cluster maps

College Garden goes to Crown HS
Parts of QO and Wootton go to Crown
Parts of QO and GB go to Wootton HS

The Fallsgrove part of RP seems likely to go to Crown.

Also, Diamond ES to QO and Fields Rd ES to Crown.

College Gardens will go to Gaithersburg (or at least the King Farm neighborhood) and parts of Gaithersburg will go to Crown...focusing on pulling up the demographics of Gaithersburg.

Yep. There's going to be a lot of busing going on all over west county. As the parent of a 9th grader, I'm glad he'll be in college when this happens.

Dufief is closer to Crown than it is to Wootton.

Half of Wootton district is closer to crown than Wootton. That makes the area very unstable.

Not really. Proximity SHOULD be the reason to be rezoned. Unfortunately diversity will be the reason there's a lot more kids rezoned farther from home than necessary.

Half of Wootton is closer and has more Asians

Why are we engaging in this speculation? Nothing will be determined until 2025 at the earliest.

As CGES/JW parent I am following this very closely, at current rate my kid will be senior when Crown is slated to open. Hopefully, he will be grandfathered into RM. Not that RM is the best school ever, but it is certainly better for middle of the road white kid than Gaithersburg HS.

First of all, yes, seniors will be grandfathered.

Second, what specific, first-hand information do you have about the experiences of "middle of the road white kids" at Gaithersburg HS? Or are you just making assumptions?

There already is a lot of busing going on all over the west county. Have you looked at the school boundaries? Lots of kids on long bus rides.
