Gang infested High Schools in MoCo?

Wootton. Like I almost said.

Poor schools have the drug dealers and rich schools have the drug users.

No escaping the culture of drugs, sex, violence and cheating in any school - public or private, rich or poor.

BCC is a bit worrisome-more so than WJ. I assume all those wealthy Chevy Chase kids go to private?

That reputation was back in the 90s and early 00s. B-CC is now a very desirable and safe school. Small F&RL population. The majority of students are wealthy kids who live in single family homes.

And BCC is not even close to the largest school in the county. It's currently got 1872 students, there are probably at least 10 schools larger than BCC (Whitman, WJ, Churchill and Wootton are all 2000-2200 students).

Look in:

Blake
Sherwood
Magruder
Damascus
Poolesville
Richard Montgomery
Quince Orchard
Seneca Valley


I thought Seneca Valley was terrible? Is that the school up in Germantown?

Seneca Valley has had so many deaths, accidents and issues.

I would also avoid Richard Montgomery. The IB program in the school makes the school look not so bad on paper. But yet Twinbrook and Lincoln Park go there and they are very much full of drugs and gangs. There was an 18yr old sophomore (yes, sophomore) having sex with a 14yr old freshman in the hall for over 20 minutes. Not a place you want to send your kid.

No, but i'd rather they not be stabbed while in school or around that "element" if I can avoid it. Is your kid a gang member?

I'd say that the risk of your child being stabbed while in any school in Montgomery County is as close to zero as it can get without actually being zero.

B-CC's enrollment last year was 1,872. Whitman's was 1,921. Churchill, 2,093. Walter Johnson, 2,237. Wootton, 2,259. (Blair, 2,790.) So, no, it's not anywhere near the largest high school in the county.

I wonder what you mean by "check out the demographics".

How many deaths is "so many"? Could you list them, please?

I would also avoid Whitman. It's much richer and whiter than the rest of the county, which makes the school look not so bad on paper. But Whitman students rob stores and manufacture deadly poisons in their rooms. Not a place you want to send your kid.
