[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like this discussion could use some grounding in numbers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the actual Option H involves:

- 1800 existing Wootton students +
- About 400 additional students 
= 2200 students in the Crown building

Is that correct? [/quote]

Actual Option H has Crown with 1999 resident students. That doesn't include students from elsewhere in the region attending programs at Crown.

Wow, so as proposed about 90% of students in Crown would come from Wootton in Option H, not 80% as I thought?[/quote]

No.  As yet another poster in this thread (or another one) pointed out, the Wootton-only projection is exemplified by option G, which shows 1897 resident-area students.  With option H having 1999, and with the only difference being the area immediately around Crown (currently the portion of the Rosemont elementary catchment on the west side iof I-270), those not "coming from Wootton" are projected to be 102, or a bit more than 5%.

The thing is that these options are not final, acting to illustrate various possibilities to facilitate discussion.  They may use H as it exists or as a starting point.  Some have suggested adding Fields Road to Wootton at Crown, with its proximity and the stated intent for Crown to serve Gaithersburg populations.  If that is done without additional shifts, whether from whole elementaries or from changes coming with the elementary boundary study, or without a further build-out of Crown, itself, Wootton at Crown would be projected to exceed the 2219 capacity.[/quote]
