[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since enrollment is declining and Crown is nearly completed, why couldn’t Wootton eventually be closed, with students reassigned to Churchill, RM, QC, and Crown based on proximity? Wootton could then serve as a holding school during future renovation projects at other schools. [/quote]

Exactly, each of those first two schools could get an addition of 200-400 seats and QO renovated/replaced and enlarged to about 2200-2400 seats. Of course replacing QO would cost a lot but given its location it is more critical. However QO will need to be renovated in the next 15-20 years. The cost of an addition at the first two schools likely is a fraction of replacing an entire school not to mention operation budget being way more cost effective to have one less school.

I think others have likely suggested a relocation of Wootton in full to Crown after Damascus/Magruder are done using crown as holding school because this avoids the fighting about moving people out of Wootton. The whole school moves and takes in 300-500 kids from Gaithersburg/QO to relieve overcrowding at those.

Should be interesting to see what happens with enrollment. Anecdotally I’m hearing immigration policy is a big factor for this as well.
