What we know now is they are planning to leave elementary school boundaries as is, but may change MS or HS boundaries. So, you would be staying at Darnestown ES, but Darnestown could potentially be reassigned to feed to an adjacent MS and/or HS. We'll know the results in March 2026.

Yes. You are buying a residence in Montgomery County. You are not buying a specific MCPS school.

You need to improve your reading comprehension: OP said they’re looking to buy in a cluster, not buy a cluster. Honestly.

FWIW The area you're looking at only stands to gain from redistricting in my opinion.

You can learn about it by reading the thread about the boundary changes. When the boundary analysis and decision happens, you can bet this forum will be on fire with updates and opinions.

Other than that, ready MCPS CIP for updates on capital projects.
