The production and release of the final report of the Districtwide Boundary Analysis will be delayed by six months, with an anticipated target release date of December 1, 2020. This delay is due to the ongoing public health crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of school and office buildings.
The interim report of the Districtwide Boundary Analysis is now available at this link. Note: Given the global health crisis that has closed our schools since March 16, 2020, we have postponed all community engagement activities for the analysis. This allows us to focus on providing continuity of services and learning for our students and families during this unprecedented time. MCPS will share additional information about next steps in the districtwide boundary analysis process at a later date.
The Districtwide Boundary Analysis is an initiative designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of Montgomery County Public School boundaries by analyzing various data points.

The Districtwide Boundary Analysis is an initiative designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of Montgomery County Public School boundaries by analyzing various data points such as school facility utilization and capacity, student demographics, school assignment and travel patterns. The initiative builds on MCPS’s engagement efforts from Spring 2019 and will continue to involve community members from all backgrounds through a variety of forums to fully understand the spectrum of challenges towards creating more meaningfully integrated and culturally responsive schools within Montgomery County.
Over the twenty years, student enrollment at Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) has increased by more than 30,000 students. This growth has helped MCPS become one of the largest and most diverse districts in the nation. Unfortunately, facility construction has not been able to keep pace with this significant growth. The overcapacity of many schools, paired with our continued focus on equity and excellence, prompted the Board of Education to initiate an assessment of current school boundaries to ensure that MCPS can continue to provide high-quality facilities that support the educational programming needed to reinforce MCPS’s core values of Learning, Relationships, Respect, Excellence, and Equity.
