[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, no one really knows what the boundaries will look like when Crown HS opens. Everything posters have stated is just speculation. But, MCPS is big on equity, and making sure that all clusters are as diverse as possible, even if it means that they draw boundaries that make no sense.

RM is more diverse than Wootton, both SES and race.  Along with that diversity, comes problems and issues. But, the diversity also means that your kid has a better chance of finding a group that they fit into. It also means that there are more academic and e.c. activities to choose from.  It is located within walking distance to the metro and town center. They have open lunch and kids go out to RTC and surrounding areas for lunch. That also has pros and cons.    For example, kids will go to RTC after school to go ice skating there, but because it's so close to an  urban area, it impacts the school in terms of safety.

Wootton is more homogeneous, and more competitive.  They have &lt;5% FARMs rate.  It is surrounded by neighborhoods, so there's not much to do around there.  The school is small and run down. The CIP for Wootton to be fixed keeps getting delayed. It's now slated for 2029, but Crown HS will open up by then.

[b]So, really, it also depends on what kind of school atmosphere you want for your kid[/b].[/quote]
