[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]H is a great option. Wootton get's a brand new school and the Crown community still gets their high school except now it's called Wootton. Also, there is no need to get on 270 to get to Crown but even if they do get on 270, it's going the opposite direction of traffic both too and from the school. I also agree this is a great way to get some diversity into Wootton.[/quote]

Diversity?? Wootton has 36% Asian, 12% African American and 8% Hispanic. What's the "good quota" for diversity? And why we have to bring the diversity card on any conversations.[/quote]

Diversity doesn't only mean race...[/quote]

But poor people who live in condos and townhouses like what is by Crown don't care about education and will pull my high achieving child down with them. They will end up hanging out at Rio after school instead of doing homework.[/quote]

Don't try to be troll. I believe the majority of Wootton parents don't have that mindset. [/quote]

Not even a convincing troll. I've walked around the Crown neighborhood quite a bit, and the houses there are still pretty new and nice and expensive. Even the townhouses start in the $700k+ range and there are plenty of $1m+ single family homes there, too. There are plenty of similarly priced houses in the Wootton cluster.[/quote]

Yeah. I toured an open SFH house behind Harris teeter last year, and it costed more than 2 million dollars. Can’t define Crown community as poor in that sense.[/quote]

This is a really good point. All of the feedback from Crown is that the county is trying to take away from the “less affluent Gaithersburg students” but the ones making the most noise are the people living in the newest section closest to the school where the home prices are on par with many Wootton homes, if not even more expensive.
