As it has been discussed numerous times-The plan is for them to get crown to capacity by adding ~1000 GHS students. Is it written on option H? No, but it’s been brought up at multiple meetings.

Also, obviously you are thrilled at this prospect so of course you are for it-it 100% benefits you.

Yep. They love the idea of Wootton moving to Crown because it puts the #3 high school in MD right in their backyard. They didn’t have to buy a more expensive house and their kid will benefit by having lots of high achieving kids around him /her (as compared to today). What’s not to like?

And what’s wrong with that if the PP did want that for their child? Before you jump down my throat, I have no skin in this game, my kids will go to DHS one day down the line but I’ve been watching this topic closely because I want to see what happens with the holding school issue.

Back to the original point- as an outsider watching from the very beginning it seems the Wootton community began all of this controversy by arguing their school should jump the line of renovations and promoting this narrative that the building is in such a state of such shambles it should be moved immediately and is in such poor condition it can’t be used safely. Now we have option H thanks to that.

And the Crown community seems happy with the compromise of integrating their community with Wootton to solve 2 problems with one high school. That’s just how it seems to someone like me who is not too deeply invested either way.

I share similar observation as an outsider. I believe soon after option H was released, Wootton communities suddenly turned the table and claimed that their school is "safe" enough to wait till full renovation at 2035 or later. Crown community seemed to be okay as long as the Wootton at Crown HS include their kids to join them. Now the biggest issues are some Wootton call some Crown Communities kids out as ghetto and gangster and would drag down their Wootton prestige state or national ranking and their prescious snowflakes kids to the drainage with no more bright foreseeable future.

Didn’t see a single person use the term “ghetto” except for you but yes gangsters means someone is in a gang, and factually GHS has gang members from MS-13. So whether you decide that is acceptable to you for your children is your own choice but it is True nonetheless.

And Wootton didn’t change and say their school was now safe enough-we have said we want the Emergent level things fixed but are willing to wait for the full renovation. We NEVER asked for a brand new school in a totally different location-ever. This is An MCPS mistake that they are trying to frame as an answer to problems they themselves have created.

Wootton is not the only school that has had their CIP constantly moved out. But, it is the only school that will have a brand new HS a couple of miles away.

The CIP was based on projections, which have no changed. Falling enrollment and huge revenue shortfalls are now the current projections.

They should just hurry up and announce the plan. Getting tired of these discussions and waiting.

[Anonymous]

I am not in the Wootton cluster. If I was I wouldn't want the school to be blended with Gaithersburg either.

[Anonymous]

It is not realistic for Wootton cluster to think that they should have no changes to their boundaries. It's one of the closest schools to Crown. It's Wootton, Gaithersburg, and QO that should have the biggest changes.

Then why isn’t RM changing any all? They’re overcrowded and also part of reason to build crown. Wootton is never over capacity but has to change because of DEI goals

So now we stereotype all kids at Gaithersburg to be like this one? So then I guess we can stereotype all kids at Wootton to be like the one who had an actual plot to carry out a mass shooting last year?

In that case, seems like the Gaithersburg kids are logically the safer group.

Part of Gaithersburg has already been assigned to Wootton for many years, due to the Fallsmead island. This would just add the area across the street from that existing part.

Having a plot and actually taking a loaded gun to school are two very things. but you know that. But there are plenty more incidents if you want to google them.

RM is more than twice the distance from Crown.

So you would rather your kid go to school with kids who intend to indiscriminately kill many students than kids who intend to kill a specific student? Weird.

This really should not be so complicated. Crown should be 1/3 QO, 1/3 Gaithersburg, and 1/3 Wootton. And then those three schools gain feeders from surrounding schools.

That’s not true. Fallsgrove is within walking distance of crown.
