[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is solely about property values and keeping higher performing kids away from other kids. As someone who lives on the other side I feel like other parents are going to organize to fight against you. We cannot stand by and watch a bunch of entitled people demand that their kids get what they want. This is a whole county and your kids should not be the only ones who get what they think they deserve. We will fight against this. This is a PUBLIC school. You are not entitled to anything just because you want it! Just because you have money and just because you sprak the loudest. MCPS will not let you win nor will the REST of the county - yes it is a county with other people involved not just you![/quote]

Meanwhile the Whitman and Churchill HS communities quietly get everything they want/need without having to speak up. Funny how that works. Huh. Notice how untouched these two schools were by regional programming. Wootton is a W school, but it is a lower-case w school, so yeah, they have to organize. If people in the Wootton community want to organize and protest, what is it to you? Just move on to another thread in DCUM. No need for you to worry.[/quote]

Neither Churchill or Whitman is close to the Crown building. Wootton was always going to be one of the most affected schools simply because of its proximity to the location.

Whitman is not overcrowded and is not part of the downcounty growth area so of course it’s not going to get shaken up in this city.

Churchill got everything they want…for now. But the 112% utilization with the boundary study coming up absolutely points to shakeups to happen there soon. I’m quite confident they have Stone Mill and Wayside articulating to Hoover together and Potomac and Travilah articulating to Cabin John together because they are strongly considering redistricting art of Wayside to Stone Mill and Potomac to Travilah in the next study. Having Julie Yang probably helped things not get so chaotic at the moment but it’s not like they are protected forever.

Curious where you think those students from Wayside and Potomac will be sent for middle school and high school? Frost and Crown?

By the way, why do you care so much? Is this a "hey, we have to pay so you should to?" I hardly think Potomac ES students will end up at Crown.[/quote]

Firstly, I don't think anyone is deeply 'paying' in this study beyond Northwest HS and Brown Station.  Anyhow, you aren't paying attention if you seriously think Potomac and Wayside kids would end up at Frost.  The entire reason the boundaries were made contiguous is to allow for possibilities like moving portions of Potomac to Travilah and portions of Wayside to Stone Mill without disrupting middle school assignment. Wayside in particular if Cold Spring closes would probably take on a good portion of the Cold Spring area and need to bleed some of its northern peninsula to Stone Mill, which would not change middle school articulation bc both Wayside and SMES will be at Hoover already.

So yes, students from the northern and western sections of Potomac and Wayside respectively could end up going to Wootton @ Crown after the next elementary boundary study.

This isn't about me 'caring' or wishing ill on people, it's about analyzing what MCPS has already been proposing carefully.  When Churchill has a 112% utilization and MCPS was already planning to move these Western/Northern portions of Potomac and Wayside to Wootton in options A-D, it's logical to have on the radar.
