[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just left that cluster before kids hit Frost/Wootton.  I was once in your place and read your thread differently (perhaps) than the others.  No, you are not getting your money’s worth.  The upper tier cluster has ancient buildings - some of the oldest in the system.  You paid 500,000 plus for your house and your kids are falling through the cracks due to politics.  Gaithersburg high is brand new - and your tax dollars fronted it.  (Title 1). Whitman is getting another addition after a recent rebuild - yep with your dollars.  Wealthy talks.  They pay more in taxes.  Wootton has been delayed for a decade due to politics frankly - the ‘dirty’ middle doesn’t have enough power.  Most of the marketing is about Blair because it’s in the power center of the county - TP/Ss. The Wootton cluster works on paper but has little or no soul.  It should be called the Cram School cluster - probably has one of the highest per capita cram school clusters in the region.  Seriously ponder moving - the housing prices are high and there are MUCH greener pastures.  No the kids mostly go to UMCP unless they have family hook.[/quote]
My DC is at RM.   DC said that there was a kid from Wootton at one of their football games; friend of a friend.  The Wootton kid went inside RM building and was awed by Main St (the main corridor); said that Wootton entry way is falling apart. I have to say, Main St is pretty impressive.[/quote]

The best bang for your buck is to buy in the Seneca Valley HS cluster. It is the newest and best HS building in MCPS and the biggest in the state. Tons of programs for both college-bound kids or for those who choose an apprenticeship. It is not a school that is sought after like Wootton or the other W schools but the boundary reassignment from 2019 that MCPS decided on,  ultimately reduced its FARMS rating and increased the number of Asian students.  Thinks will turn around for that school and a good student there will less likely be a small fish in a big pond and will have a better chance at getting into a top-notch college over a Wotton grad.[/quote]

LOL no. Love for my kid to go to school with a fence around it. And the surrounding area is crime like no one's business. No thanks.

If don't want Wootton, QO next best choice.
