[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RM has 10 portables in use. There is still overcrowding at RM unless a plan addresses moving some students out of the RM cluster.[/quote]
If you look at their projections, RM is capacity would be under 100% in the future.

I don't know if these projections are accurate (I'm very suspect of any numbers MCPS puts out), but if it is accurate, then it makes total sense to not redraw the RM boundary, and move Wootton to Crown.[/quote]

I sort of question the effects tables.

For Option H, it's saying moving the Crown/Decloverly/Rio area that currently goes to Rosemont to the new Crown School won't really change Gaithersburg HS's numbers:

2031-32 projection: 2497-&gt;2456
FARMS: 49.6 pct-&gt;49.5 pct
EML: 27.8 pct-&gt;28.5 pct

Then for Wootton/Crown absorbing that area:
2031-32 projection: 1937-&gt;1999
FARMS: 14 pct-&gt;14.8 pct
EML: 3.1 pct-&gt;3.3 pct

Are there really that little amount of students in the Crown/Decloverly/Rio area?

Then the current Rosemont boundaries looks like it's a couple of islands and the school has 62.4 percent FARMS.

If the resulting FARMS numbers don't change that much for the high schools, are they pulling from the nonFARMS population of Rosemont to send them to the new Crown school?  Or are the numbers so small that they just get absorbed by the larger high school numbers/population?  According to mdreportcard at Rosemont 354 out of the 567 students are eligible for FARMS.[/quote]
