It's really crazy area at that time. Avoid if you want non crazyish lunch hour.

Poolesville has open lunch for every grade (and currently doesn’t have a cafeteria). QO has open lunch for juniors and seniors only.

So where do Poolesville students buy lunch or eat ?

At school, there’s a lunch cart and they can eat anywhere. Off campus, they go to the K2 cafe, Dunkin’ Donuts and a few other places. I think they’re allowed to use their cars during lunch, which means they can drive to McDonald’s, which is tough to do on foot with limited time.

QO students are not allowed to access their cars during lunch. Not only are they not supposed to drive, but they’re not even supposed to go to their cars.

Back when I was in high school, there was only one fast food restaurant within easy walking distance of our high school and there were no large employers anywhere near it. Our lunch was from 11:40 - 12:25. The place would be packed with students, but we were paying customers, no one was smoking, using drugs or having sex in the bathrooms, the vast majority of us were good about throwing out our trash and cleaning up after ourselves. Elderly people (not even workers, with limited lunchtimes) complained bitterly because there weren’t a lot of open tables during that 45 minute period of the day, and a packed restaurant is noisy, even if no one is yelling. I never understood why people with flexible schedules wouldn’t just eat lunch before or after us instead of being annoyed that teenagers had the right to go to lunch too. The restaurant wasn’t going to do a thing about it because a substantial portion of their revenue came from high school students.

Do the restaurants at the Wildwood shopping center have actual grievances to complain about or are you just upset that their restaurants are crowded?
