[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My kids are supposed to go to Ritchie Park in the upcoming years but I am going to put in a request for Cold Spring. We live in walking distance to that school and but would get a bus to Ritchie Park. Cold Spring is under capacity. Only 30 kids for the entire K class. Ritchie Park has 100. It is a no brainer for me. I can see them denying it though so I have to come up with a "reason."[/quote]

This is stupid. Walking distance and the kids are bused to an overcrowded school?[/quote]

I live in walking distance to Lakewood, yet my child is also bused to Ritchie Park...[/quote]

RP is one of the weirdest zoned ES.  There is a whole section of a neighborhood (Fallsgrove) not in any way connected to the rest of the zone.  I really just do not get it.

Clopper Mill ES has that: http://gis.mcpsmd.org/ServiceAreaMaps/ClopperMillES.pdf

So does Fairland ES: http://gis.mcpsmd.org/ServiceAreaMaps/FairlandES.pdf

So does Garrett Park ES: http://gis.mcpsmd.org/ServiceAreaMaps/GarrettParkES.pdf

I'm just clicking on schools semi-randomly from the list here:  http://gis.mcpsmd.org/ServiceAreaMaps.html

[b]so I don't think it's unusual in MCPS[/b].[/quote]

Maybe not, but it is around the RP area.  None of the other local ES seems to have this issue.  Not to say that it's ok for those other areas to have weird school zoning.  I really don't get how the district figures out the zoning.  Anyone have a clue?  Is there a formula or something, or do they just pick out a piece of paper with some school name on it from a bowl?[/quote]
