This brief shows, at a glance, how each MCPS Crown/Damascus boundary option (A–D) would change Potomac-area feeder paths from elementary to middle to high school, primarily between Churchill and Wootton.
It highlights what stays the same and where paths would shift or split. The accompanying maps visualize these boundaries so families can quickly see which neighborhoods fall into Churchill vs. Wootton under each scenario.
For full details, families are encouraged to view all Articulation Charts, Data Tables, and Maps at the MCPS website: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/facilities/boundary-study/
