No kidding. I get that the school system isn't perfect. Hell, we're moving if the county can't deal with the overcrowding at our ES (we're districted to Rachel Carson). But the fact is that most of the schools in MCPS remain among the top in the country. The complaining on here is ridiculous. [/quote]

The plan is to expand DuFief ES and then rezone some of the Rachel Carson ES kids to DuFief.

Rachel Carson Elementary School
Planning Issue: Projections indicate that enrollment at
Rachel Carson Elementary School will exceed capacity by
over 300 seats throughout the six-year planning
period. To address the high enrollment at Rachel
Carson Elementary School, the Board of Education
approved the expansion of DuFief Elementary
School to accommodate the overutilization of
Rachel Carson Elementary School. The Board
of Education action can be found at the following
link: http://gis.mcpsmd.org/cipmasterpdfs/
CIP17_AdoptedRachelCarsonESOverutilization.pdf
Capital Project: Expenditures are recommended
to provide capacity and facility upgrades at DuFief
Elementary School. An FY  2019 appropriation
for planning funds is recommended to begin
the architectural design for this project with a
scheduled completion of September 2021. Relocatable
classrooms will be utilized until additional
capacity can be added. In order for this project to
be completed on this schedule, county and state
funding must be provided at the levels recommended
in this CIP.[/quote]

Thanks! I knew about this plan, but had also heard from some that it might not happen. There have also been rumors of an elementary school study happening in Gaithersburg that could mean building a new ES next to Lakelands Park MS.

Also, if the Dufief plan happens, we don't know which kids will be rezoned, and whether it would involve them going to Frost MS and Wootton HS (Dufief's current cluster).

In other words, there are a ton of unknowns, so we're looking at what happens very closely. I think RCES has done an admirable job keeping the quality up with 1,000 kids, but if the situation doesn't improve, I'm not comfortable sending my kid to what would be an even bigger school 4 years from now.
