VIRTUAL TOWN HALL Open For ALL Our Community January 6, 2026 at 7pm
You dont have to have children in MCPS for this to impact you.
It impacts us ALL.
On December 1, 2025, MCPS announced a significant shift impacting where our children could go to high school. This has a profound impact on the decisions we've all made to live where we live today.
While MCPS’s prior 2 rounds of options following boundary studies rezoned the neighbors in the Fields Road Elementary School zone from Quince Orchard HS to Crown HS, the 3 of the 4 newest options include changing the feeder pattern now by moving the kids from Fields Road Elem School (FRES), to Lakelands Park Middle School then to Gaithersburg HS instead.
Learn more here that was presented to the community on FRES on December 11, 2025
Crown High School was our promised high school for us and our neighboring Crown Community for many years. These boundary studies are now being impacted by significant and deeper advocacy efforts by schools that have more resources than we do.
We need to let MCPS, Board of Education, and County Council know how we feel and that DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH and keep our feeder pattern to keep us zoned for Crown High School.
