[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]QO’s overcrowding probably will be resolved in the next few years without any intervention. Rachel Carson was at 150% capacity (thanks mostly to the Lakelands neighborhood) almost a decade ago, but now it’s below capacity. Then Lakelands Park was briefly over capacity, but now it’s below capacity. Once the current QO cohort graduates, QO will probably be below capacity. Is MCPS planning to bus current neighborhoods that are walkers (like Lakelands) away from QO, while also busing a new mix of neighborhoods to QO? It seems ridiculous.[/quote]

Yeah crown is really not needed. There are also plenty of space in Magruder/sherwood. MCPS just wastes everyone’s tax dollars while causing so much disruption. [/quote]

Sherwood has 473 available space, Magruder has 226, Wootton has 254, RM needs 122, QO needs 314, Gaithersburg is right at capacity. There is enough space to accommodate all the overcrowding. But now we’re in this mess of building this expensive brand new school with not enough students to fill. And everyone’s property tax increases with income tax increasing soon (they already tried once and it’s because MCPS budget is so high). Still there is no money to renovate Wootton for indefinite amount of time.  When are we going to keep county councils and MCPS fiscally responsible for these? [/quote]

Churchill is over crowded as well. Also, RM and Woodward/WJ area is seeing high growth. I doubt that extra seats won't be needed by county.[/quote]
+1 there is a ton of new construction going on around RM, QO, GHS neighborhoods.[/quote]

That doesn’t mean people are moving into Montgomery county. With higher taxes and fewer jobs due to federal layoffs, we’re going to see exodus of people.
