There may be a Wayside to Gaithersburg option to make the Wootton option look better.

Wayside to Gaitherburg option should have been there to start with. How will be the bus ride in this case? If it's longer than 25 minutes then it's an issue. As long as it's less than 25 minutes, it will work.[/quote]

Wayside has Churchill at 2.4 miles, Wotton at 4 miles, crown at 7.2 miles, and Gaithersburg at 9.7 miles...where is this came from? and not to mention Gaithersburg is overcapacity....= =[/quote]

Whats the driving time for Gaithersburg? Gaithersburg can send more to Crown.[/quote]

That will depend on whether that bus needs to pick up Kentlands students along the way. But it feels very doable to me, and me and my cousins work in transportation logistics.[/quote]

Gaithersburg ->Kentlands/Lakelands -> Crown? but really think Kentlands should stay in QO, it is walking distance. [/quote]

Plus 1. kentlands/lakelands are walking zones to QO. It does not make sense to me to bus them either to Crown HS/Gaithersburg HS. That adds more costs to MCPS for busing services and also traffic jam. [/quote]

Parts of Kentlands/Lakelands are walkable to QO.

If you map the walking distance from Four Corners Park to QO it's about 40 minutes.  At that point, I think a bus would be preferable.

They could potentially split the neighborhood like they do with King Farm by Redland Road.  Have a part go to Crown and the part closer to QO to QO.

Lakelands Middle School already split articulates to Northwest and QO.  As well as schools like Diamond Elementary split articulating to Lakelands Park and Ridgeview.  So there's already some kind of dividing line around that area, maybe not within Lakelands and Kentlands itself.[/quote]

Maybe they could achieve a setup where all of the Lakelands MS goes to Crown and all of Ridgeview MS goes to QO, to minimize splits. Some ppl might love, others might not. An idea.[/quote]

Yeah part of the whole issue is that QO is one of the schools in the immediate area projected with the largest percentage of being over capacity, with -431 seats or 124%.  So it would kind of make sense that they take areas out of QO to go into Crown.

They don't really need to add any new areas to QO, unless it's to try to balance demographics and alleviate some from neighboring areas.  ie since they'll be losing a good portion of it's FARMS population to Crown, they can pick some up from Northwest or possibly Gaithersburg HS.[/quote]
