This is OP. Thanks. I was just starting to think what would happen with Clarksburg ES #9 which sits squarely on the Seneca Valley HS boundary (based on the upcounty boundary study redistricting), although the elementary school that it intends to alleviate (Clarksburg ES) feeds into both Seneca Valley and the Clarksburg clusters. So would the schools in the upcoming boundary study include both the SVHS and Clarksburg clusters or just SVHS only?[/quote]
Clarksburg ES has a split articulation, so[b] I would expect the boundary study to involve elementary schools in the SV cluster and the Clarksburg cluster.[/b]

Now, if I were one of the families in Boyds who was horrified at being reassigned to Neelsville MS/SVHS, I would start lobbying to include the Poolesville cluster, too - with the goal of being reassigned to Monocacy ES, followed by John Poole MS and Poolesville HS. Or I would just petition the board directly for that boundary change, but they don't seem to have done that. Monocacy ES is closer than the Cabin Branch ES will be, but Poolesville is not closer than Germantown.[/quote]

OP here trying to get back on track with the original topic. If the Clarksburg #9 ES  boundary study involves elementary schools in the SV cluster and Clarksburg cluster, and the new school sits on the SV cluster, then it sounds like it would be possible that kids currently attending a Clarksburg cluster elementary school, middle school, and high school would be reassigned to the SV cluster entirely, unless MCPS decides to split articulate Clarksburg ES #9 so some kids will go to Neelsville MS/SVHS and others will go to Rocky Hill MS/Clarksburg HS path. Just trying to understand if that would be a possibility. We're okay either way although I would prefer that they don't split up the kids at the new school like they do at Clarksburg ES. [/quote]

Yes, it's a possibility. [b]My personal opinion of the likeliest outcome is for Clarksburg ES to go to Rocky Hill/Clarksburg and Cabin Branch ES to go to Neelsville/Seneca Valley.[/b] But I have been wrong before![/quote]

I agree with this prediction. The question is mainly which areas will be zoned to which.[/quote]
 
It's actually called Clarksburg #9, not Cabin Branch ES at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if not all of Cabin Branch residents are assigned to the new school. [/quote]
