[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dufief parents who now support H: Why were you all collectively pissed when the first options had send all of you to Crown. If Wootton is such bad conditions, you should’ve been happy with the original options?

I say those who want to go to Crown, should just go. Sounds like Dufief Travilah and Stone Mill want to go. Add in Rosemont and Fields Road and you got a high school of roughly ~2200, which matches perfectly with Crown’s size. This alleviates overcrowding at QO and Gaithersburg HS.

Leave Wootton to Fallsmead, Lakewood, Cold Spring families. Add in Wayside—half of Potomac Glen is currently split between Lakewood (which feeds into Wootton) and Wayside anyways. Then add in RM neighborhoods including the very walkable neighborhood of Horizon Hill and Fallsgrove, which is walkable as well (a lot of Wootton kids walk to Fallsgrove all the time). This justifies keeping Wootton as a cluster and alleviates overcrowding at RM and Churchill.[/quote]

This isn't necessarily a bad idea.  When you move entire and multiple elementary schools, you would hope the majority of the student population that families thought they were buying into is still mostly the same.

But remember, maybe one or two posters posting their opinion isn't necessarily indicative of the whole area.  So there can be a good number of families living in those areas that do indeed want to stay at the current Wootton location.

An anonymous message board isn't a good way to see the overall sentiment of a community.  And something like a poll based on current choices and broken out by the individual level would give a better idea.

But either way, it's not like this is a democratic process anyways where the community gets vote for what they want.  So don't know how much MCPS would factor in community opinion.[/quote]
