My youngest is old enough that it will not affect her. She will be able to finish WJ. My main concern is the real estate prices, since we bought recently, and if it is a dramatic drop it will put us under water. Anyone else in the same boundary? How much do you think the prices will go down? I am almost considering selling it now just in case.

It's not going to be a dramatic drop. Look at King Farm. The parts zoned for Gaithersburg HS are pretty similar in price to those zoned for Richard Montgomery.

Nah, on average - there is difference in prices when it comes to exact same houses. I live in the area.

How big of a difference? Similar does not mean identical and they are similar.

I live in RM cluster. I would say Wootton goes for 10-15% premium for similar houses compared to RM cluster. Saying that based on when we were looking to buy. We picked RM for various reasons but that's my recollection.

Wootton => RM is vastly different than WJ => Kennedy.

Agree, WJ to Kenndy is not comparable to Wootton to RM.

Are MCPS school boundaries Woodward finalized?

I purchased my house two blocks from Cooper Middle School. That guarantees the school pyramid will be Churchill ES, Cooper Middle School, and Langley High School.
