There is no need to disturb Churchill and Wootton for a high school built to alleviate other schools overcrowding.


No, the new options mingle a lot of split articulation and re-assignment of ESs between Wootton and Churchill. So they will fight each other. Dufief and part of Fallsmead are splitting out from Wootton to Crown, which is really bad news for those two ESs.

No, dufief going to Crown all options


That's exactly what I said...

Not really. Someone (like me) are more worried about the exacerbation of pressure-cooker environment in the future when the top achievers can't choose to leave. The new STEM program together with a stronger RMIB will undoubtedly make Region 4 the best in a few years. If Blair teachers can choose to move, they will move to Region 4.

I see. So Fallsmead folks should be more or less ready for this change. Dufief is getting a big hit.

The FARMS and EML rates go down at both Churchill and Wooton in most, if not all, of the options.


and where do they go up? what's wrong with FARMS or EML kids?


Gaithersburg, Northwest, Seneca Valley.

Probably but the RM IB will only be them, RM, and Rockville. I don’t see them letting MCPS reduce the size of it so they’ll basically get the best program in the county all to themselves.

I can't believe they are going to send 500 more students to Damascus but they won’t expand the school until 2031.
