Why do you think excellence will decrease in the new building?

Black kids and a lesser town’s name in the address. Half of the IB parents think it was in Potomac to begin with. That sort of delusion was never going be able to absorb the slight of rubbing their faces the county’s indifference. Half of them think this is about Whitman levels of resentment but nobody cares about a Rockville school. It’s not rich enough to be important or poor enough to be cool and school status or envy is really neighborhood status/envy. They spent a generation thinking “at least we are not gaithersburg” and presto change-o now they are. When they talk about losing their identity, thats the identity they are talking about. With some more poor kids thrown into the mix they will slide down academic rankings a tad too and then just be another middle tier not W school regardless of their motivated Asian population. They were comfortable as a faux W “North” Potomac school with good test scores.

For stupid, yes.

Man Crown parents are sensitive

Crown parents probably have more money than Wootton given housing prices.

Actually not. Yes, the SFHs are absurdly expensive, but that's a very small percentage of the housing there.

The townhomes are a million or more too.

I don't get the concern for other kids' test scores. It helps your kids with college admissions not to be in such a competitive environment. Then, these same parents complain about their kids college acceptances.

Townhouse kids don’t belong at Wootton.

They removed one of the best ES in the county and are adding 2 high-FARMs ES. It's pretty obvious why excellence will decrease.

Racism and self-segregation at its finest.

How so?

You tell us. You don't want any other students outside the current catchment zone in there for fear of your kids will be exposed to students whose parents earn less than you even though your incomes are often average from the posts here and the actual Crown families will most likely have higher incomes.

This thread is so bizarre. The person you are replying is not saying that at all. Test scores are obviously going to decrease, and it is not racist to acknowledge that.
