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. [/quote]

Yes let’s go to RM, where it is “interesting and poor enough” to have incidents and fights daily on top of the locked bathrooms. Are you for real?!?

Wootton doesn’t care about anything but academics and a few sports. It is not entitled, basic MC/UMC and has no daily issues. That’s why home prices right next to the RM district that look identical are 100K more expensive. Families will pay to get into a decent school that prefers academics over scandals.

I mean your post is just laughable. I think you proved the PP point about RM. [/quote]

Is this a joke? Wootton is so cheap. Your cluster consists of nothing but a bunch of NV homes. Wootton neighborhood is just Bowie with no Black people and a pool in the backyard. Most people in RM could sell their house and move to Wootton or even Whitman tomorrow. Homes near the town center are much more expensive than anything Wootton has. You’re the only W cluster where the median home price is below $1M. Wootton is a fake and wannabe W. Now go back to your dilapidated strip malls on a road that looks like Ritchie Highway in Glen Burnie and your dusty, old high school. [/quote]

from that nearly 40 year old newspaper article...  Now RM has the 'new' school and Wooton is aged.  My oldest just graduated RM yesterday.  She could walk to school, had open lunch, and great teachers.  She didn't do IB but like half her friends did.  I'm glad we arent being moved.[/quote]

We absolutely chose an RM neighborhood over Wooton when buying houses.  Both were affordable to us.  We had 1 in IB and one not.  Both had great experiences.  [/quote]

No one cares about if RM is “new” it is still poverty full and has terrible testing scores outside of IB. Even QO tests higher than non-IB RM.

I mean Gaithersburg and Crown are “new” and no one wants to go to either of them.

I said nothing about the age of the building.[/quote]
