Hey guys, how about we just wait and see? I bet we have other things we can worry about now, right? Genuinely curious how this kind of speculation helps you, or anyone.

I see where you are coming from but Ritchie Park is about to lose the entire Fallsmead island and can't retain enough students to stay open if it does not absorb at least a significant portion of a neighboring school. In this case, Cold Spring is the most logical one.

What are you talking about? How is RPES losing Fallsmead island?

The person almost certainly meant the Fallsgrove island. Which makes sense. That will mean RPES will lose a significant portion of its student body.

One of the goals of the next boundary study is to resolve islands, this one would make a ton of geographical sense. Why does Fallsgrove hop over 2 ES's to get to RPES and then cross over 270 to get to JWMS and RM. Much of that neighborhood is under 2 miles to Crown which means they could be in the walk zone.

Agreed. And I know Fallsgrove was being sent to Crown (or HS 27 @ Crown) in a couple of the initial options 1-4 so the county clearly notes the geographic proximity. The ES study would be the perfect time to resolve this.

I agree with this but someone has to be pushed out right? Fallsgrove at Crown would put the school over capacity no, especially with RM IB ending and more Wootton kids going back to their home school. I think this is why Dufief is moving to QO?

RMIB is not ending. It will shrink size by reducing like a total ~100 kids for all 4 grades once regional program fully rolls in. And Dufief stays with Wootton to move to Crown.

But most of the kids will go back to their home school and some of the 100 kids per grade will be in bound RM kids who get priority.

I appreciate that Dufief is desperate to stay with Wootton after it threw the entire community under the bus, but the writing is on the wall.

At least parts of Dufief, if not the whole thing, will be at QO. Fallsgrove island will be at Crown.

they just got QO under capacity, bud. Ya know, one of the main reasons for the boundary study? Have you seen the portable village back there? How again did DuFief throw the whole cluster under a bus? Or do we have to bring up that old thread and revisit?

Oh, okay. You're not biased at all, I'm sure this is a very objective viewpoint considering you say "after it threw the entire community under the bus"... Dufief didn't make H happen.

That said, not sure Dufief would mind new QO all that much. However, I don't think that's what will happen- they would have been sent there to begin with during the boundary study. Would have saved a lot of trouble if that was the long game versus going against policy FAA if they tried to do it with the elem study. I think they will send current Fields Road students over to Dufief. There is capacity for them and now that Fields is going to Frost/Wootton along with Dufief it makes sense.

Exactly. For Fallsgrove to move into Wootton, DuFief and/or the northern portions of Fields Road would have to be moved out (to QO and GHS respectively). Additionally, the southern portion of Washington Grove (ie King Farm) would need to move into College Gardens and RM.


This would probably make the most sense but we’ll see if the county really wants to fight 20 communities at once.

Fallsgrove isn’t even an entire ES? How many kids is that from RP? Crown has available capacity still. Don’t think anyone is moving out of it since they just determined the new zone with the boundary decision.

Roughly 30 kids per grade in ES

So 120 kids that would need to fit into another ES if they actually wanted to resolve that island. Lots of musical chairs!

This is exactly why they will do it. MCPS loves to fight with communities while gaslighting them and telling them this is public engagement, as if these decisions on es/ms boundaries aren’t already made.
