You need to look in neighborhoods which currently do not get bus service to Wootton, i.e. the "walk zone."

https://www2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/siteassets/district/departments/transportation/busroutes/04234bus.pdf

If there are Wootton bus stops in a neighborhood, then kids can be rezoned and ride a bus to another school. If the neighborhood kids currently walk to Wootton, they will remain walkers.

It seems like 60%+ of the current boundary is closer to another HS. It would be nice if MCPS prioritized neighborhood schools and made these boundaries more compact to reduce busing costs.

Willows

Dufief. Dufief is considered the poorest school so they have already said Dufief would remain. The others are up for grabs.

This is OP. I don't really care about the boundary analysis. Please start another thread. I am asking about how/whether your kids like Wootton.

[Anonymous]

You will hear that some people don’t like the principal but I like him a lot. He is very responsive and cares for the kids. This is a school with large population of overachievers. Some kids like that and some don’t. My kid is ok but he is good at not comparing himself to others. Lots of clubs and community involvement!

Who said this? Is it documented anywhere? I know a few residents who didn’t mention it.

Sorry OP, will drop this after.

Unless you are literally across the street from the school entrance, no area is safe from being rezoned. Take a look at the current boundaries for some of the school clusters. MCPS doesn't always draw the boundaries based on geography.

And Wootton being the least diverse HS in the clusters being looked at for Crown HS boundary, it's probably going to be looked at very closely to even out the FARMS rate across the HSs.

Hey Dummy! Wootton is diverse, 60% minority enrollment. Let me guess you are going to say that's not diversity!!!!


60.0%
Minority Enrollment

39.9%
White

36.0%
Asian

11.8%
Black

8.0%
Hispanic

4.0%
Two or More Races

0.2%
American Indian/Alaska Native

hey dummy, I'm Asian American, and compared to the other neighboring schools Wootton is not diverse, especially when it comes to the FARMS rate which is what MCPS is really trying to make more equitable.

8% hispanic in a county of almost 40% Hispanic. gmafb.

If you live in a fantasy land with your own imaginary "facts", you are going
To find yourself constantly surprised when you bump into reality.

I was off by maybe 6%.

MCPS is 34.5% hispanic. Doesn't matter how many white people live in MoCo since only k-12 kids are going to MCPS schools, not the whole of the county.

But, let's use the stats you posted. MoCo is 15% Asian; Wootton is 36% Asian. Your county stats even show how not reflective Wootton is of how diverse the county is.

Sorry your face got hit by reality.

I don’t care if you’re real or fake Asian parents, whatever fantasy you live in, but there is nothing wrong with a school with 36% Asians. Why every school has to have 15% or less Asians? Why can’t some Asians choose to stay together if they want to?

So Hispanic is plurality and the White and Asian minorities are over represented? Looks pretty diverse to me!

Didn't say there was anything "wrong" with it. I just stated that it was the least diverse HS in the area. Then a PP or you went all wacked on me with stats, to which I used to show how it is not diverse, and now it's all,... "nothing wrong with 36% Asian" when I never stated that there was something wrong with that.

Sheesh, people are so sensitive.

sure I mean you can twist yourself into a pretzel and try to sell Wootton HS as diverse, but that won't fly with MCPS.

Tomorrow is the Wootton cluster fall festival if you live in the area and want to see what the community is like

[Anonymous]

I would also recommend checking out all of the Wootton related Instagram accounts run by the kids for different sports and clubs.

It is definitely diverse and you will find that in the pictures. DCUM will always tell you something is not enough if they don’t like it. Don’t listen to them. See for yourself.

It's one of the least diverse schools in MCPS.

We love it. Competitive environment but if you have a driven kid, it’s as good as it’s going to get in MCPS. Good luck OP.
