I'm going to assume that you're stirring the pot, here. Most of Twinbrook is walking distance to Richard Montgomery HS.[/quote]
And?  Are you new to mcps?  There are tons of neighborhoods that are walking distance to one school but are zoned for a school much further away.  BOE passed a resolution to balance out diversity in re-drawing boundary. [b]Makes perfect sense to send TB cluster to Churchill[/b] to balance out diversity since both Rockvill HS and RMHS have enough diversity, and RM is overcrowded.

Horizon Hill neighborhood off Falls rd is walking distance to Wootton, and it was once zoned for Wootton. Then it got rezoned to RM, not walking distance. Why?  Because of capacity and diversity issues.    Fallsgrove is also closer to Wootton, but they are zoned for RM.

You really must be new to mcps, or you live in a bubble.  Do you by chance live in the Churchill cluster?[/quote]

It makes just as much sense to keep Twinbrook at Richard Montgomery HS and rezone some wealthy Churchill kids to Gaithersburg HS, no?

The Rustin ES boundary study made it pretty clear that the low-income families in Twinbrook are as unenthusiastic about long school bus rides as the wealthy families in Potomac -- and that the BoE understands that it's harder for low-income families to get to distant schools than wealthy families.[/quote]
