No, 1900 Wootton students +500ish in crown/fields road per option table

Again, Fields Road is not at Wootton/Crown in option H.

And again, it makes logical sense for them to go to Crown as it was and still should be their school. It was for them. The gaithersburg community is highly opposed to option H and have made it clear that the only way they might accept it is if fields road is added. Don’t be so focused on what is in option H in written form. There is so much more.

IMO-I think there is literally no chance Wootton moves to Crown. There is simply not enough support for it and it’s making MCPS look so bad (I mean if they could actually look worse).

Gaithersburg was promised a school. It is unfair to take it away for some rich families who are complaining when no other school is offered that.

Reading all posts conclude that Wootton HS is not in a bad shape as they claim for to the public. They don't want new Crown HS, and that means they better not to complain further to the public that MCPS do not hear them or ignore them. Gaithersburg probably do not mind getting a new Crown HS no matter if Wootton is moving there or not. It is just that the public resource "Crown HS" could be more better used effectively, efficiently and timely in option H.

I think you posted like at least dozens of times of the same comments. Seriously Wootton in a bad shape is not equivalent to accepting closing the school and merge to a new school.

PP gets it. They just want to see a W school destroyed.

You over value your w schools. Most of us don’t care. Some of us choose not to put our kids in those environments as we came from them and know the culture isn’t healthy.

What I do care about is the lack of equity in terms of course offerings, facilities and stuff. Our kids shouldn’t have to go without science labs, sports equipment and uniforms, music and theater, photography and other things while your kids have access to it.

So, while our kids go without and are in equally bad facilities you want to shift more funding to your schools vs allow all kids safe environments and have access to what they need.

We could comfortably pay cash for a new home to go to a W school but it’s the culture and attitudes that keeps us where we are at.

This is a work of fiction. Nobody who could provide better for their kids would choose not to. Give me a break.

Define better? You need to look at the full picture and not just your ego. I very purposefully picked where we lived as I grew up in a w school and it’s not what we wanted. Except for the lack of offerings, my kids are happy at their schools and the schools are much more down to earth. And less competition for college.

I can totally understand someone who grew up in the W schools not wanting that environment for their kids. But I'm curious which school did you pick instead? There are plenty of good, non-W schools that aren't lacking science labs, sports equipment/uniforms, music and theater - schools such as QO, RM, Rockville, Northwest, etc. Which school did you pick instead that is lacking all those things?

Many schools don’t have it. Either the boosters and pta provide or they go without. We just do activities outside of Mcps.

Or, imagine you just “paid cash” as you said you are able for a home that would have your kids attend a school that actually could provide these things instead of making your kids go to a school you could use for your own virtue signaling needs.

Oh please, cry me a river! Gaithersburg high is gorgeous compared to Wootton!

Most of our schools are falling apart. Take crown or wait your turn. Simple.

They already say that they will oppose Option H and they will wait for their turns at 2035 without any fuss anymore. So we should let them be.

But they don't want to let Wootton be. They want to forcibly move Wootton to Crown, regardless of what Wootton families want.

No one cares. We care about our taxes going up to pay for all this. If you don’t like crown and refuse to wait your turn for repairs, again, what suggestions for solutions do you have. The condition at many schools is bad but there are ones far worse than Wootton that need priority.

You keep saying this but there is actually only one school in worse condition than Wootton per the actual data. So that is not plural as you keep saying.

I don’t understand the big deal. That one are to GHS between current Wootton boundary and the Rio Wootton island, much of that is crown proper. Crown will be comprised of high SES families in the SFH and townhomes. So this is just a minor adjustment.
