[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Travilah and dufief should go to QO and Kentlands should go to Crown with all the other City of Gaithersburg schools.  [/quote]

That is very logical.  North Potomac, Travilah, and Darnestown go to Ridgeview / QO.  The City of Gaithersburg schools go to Lakelands / Crown. Falls Grove and Ritchie Park to Wooton.[/quote]

I have said this for a long time, before any boundary discussion. It is the most elegant contiguous solution. Of course people have their preferences based on past experience but none of that matters in these discussions. Now Kentlands leaving is a new topic of course with Crown, but agree with City boundaries being logical here, and having enough students to fill Crown in one swath.[/quote]

Yup.  Same reason why Fallsgrove and Ritchie Park should go to Wootton and all of King Farm to RM.[/quote]

RM parent here and I would totally support that. Lets be real, "unofficially" most of King Farm goes to RM, even the Gaithersburg HS part. So tired of RPES parents whining about Wootton. I get it, you want to go to W school and not RM. [/quote]
Nah. I'm in the RPES cluster, and a lot of parents here would rather stay at RM than go to Wootton.  I'm the PP who has stated repeatedly that MCPS is not going to move RPES to Wootton.  And I'm fine with that.

RM Main Street is really nice.  They did a great job.  Kids love having open lunch. My kids enjoy/ed their time at RM.  Many years ago when we moved here, we looked at homes from N. Potomac down to Kensington (I think we looked at over 40 homes). We could afford homes in Potomac.  We chose the RM cluster for a reason.

Wootton is also falling apart (shame on MCPS). [/quote]

I am the PP you are responding to. We were in the same boat. Chose RM over W/Potomac schools and I am actually happy we did. [/quote]

Ok simmer down lol. If RM didn’t have the IB program it would be a trash.  It brought in RPES to make it better and home equity is 70-100K less in many SFH neighborhoods.  So then added IB. Then they added Fallsgrove. But the school can’t hide its core issues  [/quote]

Why don’t you simmer down? Wootton is the most irrelevant W school that everyone forgets exists. Parents from Churchill are revolting against their kids attending Wootton.  It has an ugly building, is located in a terrible town/zip-code, and is all the way out in the middle of nowhere. If the plastics were W schools, Wootton would Gretchen Wieners. Wootton is truly the worst. Too poor/low income to be a real W and exists in the shadows of Whitman and Churchill, and too rich to be interesting enough to have scandalous incidents and fights.

Oh BS

Their kids go to the a university of South Carolina nit Ivies .
No the wannabes are the Wayside parents they cozy up to the real Churchill money. Most are in debt up to their eyeballs.  They won’t be able to afford top privates so they are whining.

They don’t give a crap about the building this is image for them. They have no other way to get their brats into country clubs

People are being ridiculous here .

Non of these plans are good because they did not redraw all the lines from elementary up. 
The logistics to make equality would fix themselves if the powers at be could read a map.

Magnet Schools were supposed to fix the white flight racism with their advertisements of gifted programs.

School choice will be a thing if MAzgA and moms4 liberty have their way that will be way worse than anything proposed here .

Bottom line is none of the options are good for any student all the maps need to be redrawn from elementary to HS . Walkers should be able to walk to the closest school period .

There is a ton of new building going on these schools will be over crowded ie Crown especially with the new builds off of key west. [/quote]
