[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kentlands and Lakelands should NOT assume they are staying in QO. The only way they will stay is if walkability trumps all other factors. Otherwise, City of Gaithersburg people will go to City of Gaithersburg school.[/quote]
Looking at the boundary changes in the past few years, did MCPS not prioritize proximity in terms of walk zones? Did they make a walk zone neighborhood into a bused neighborhood... in the past few years. Not talking about HH to RM that happened in the 80s.[/quote]

I don't know if they made any changes or if it was always like that.  But look up Taunton Drive in Gaithersburg Maryland.

This street is literally right across the street from the parking lot of Shady Grove Middle School.  But the last time I looked the kids on that street get bussed to Gaithersburg Middle School.[/quote]

btw, the homes on that street were a lot bigger and more expensive than the rest of the homes in that neighborhood before the new townhome community was built close by.[/quote]

Or actually I just looked again.  The big homes were actually on Taunton Court, which are off of Taunton Drive.  The homes in Taunton Drive aren't that  much different then most of the homes in the neighborhood.

But Shady Grove Middle School feeds into Magruder HS, which isn't included as part of this boundary study.

If they wanted to alleviate overcrowding at Gaithersburg HS and emphasize walking zones, they could've shifted parts of this neighborhood to Shady Grove Middle School.[/quote]
