differences between Winston Churchill high school and Walt Whitman high school

[Anonymous]

We definitely need more Hispanics at these schools. MCPS is now majority Hispanic, as is MOCO.

MCPS is 34.6% Hispanic.

Our friends left their local elementary school which was 80%+ asian and cliquey.

It's interesting that you consider 32% to be majority Asian-American. The plurality demographic group at Churchill is non-Hispanic white, at 43%.

https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/regulatoryaccountability/glance/currentyear/schools/04602.pdf

While we're at it, let's look at the elementary schools in the Churchill cluster:

Bells Mill: 27% Asian-American, 8% 2+, 41% non-Hispanic white
Seven Locks: 26% Asian-American, <5% 2+, 49% non-Hispanic white
Beverly Farms: 30% Asian-American, 9% 2+, 45% non-Hispanic white
Potomac: 33% Asian-American, 11% 2+, 39% non-Hispanic white
Wayside: 41% Asian-American, 6% 2+, 38% non-Hispanic white

Asian families go where the good schools are. Churchill is an excellent school. As a PP noted, accurately, there is a decent amount of middle-class housing in Potomac that is a factor too.

WHERE??

Depends on how you define "middle-class"...

Depends on how you define "middle-class"...

There are several townhouse communities near the eastern part of the Churchill boundary (close to Seven Locks Rd), as well as some more-affordable single-family houses near Churchill High School. Mind you, the prices for these homes are likely significantly higher than the prices for similar homes in other parts of the County. Are they "middle class" prices? No, they probably aren't, depending how one defines "middle class."

But are these homes more affordable to a greater number of people than the larger single-family homes elsewhere in the Churchill and Whitman catchments? Yes, they are.

Could Churchill's boundary change due to Woodward?

No, Churchill is not part of the Woodward boundary study, but it is expected to be part of the Crown boundary study.

The current CIP includes other five high schools and Churchill is not one of them. Even if MCPS does include it, the worst case is that a small portion goes to Wootton. It’s not a big deal.

The lines between Churchill, Wootton, and RM could be redrawn.

The only part connecting to RM is Beverly farm ES and a big portion of it is in walking distance to Churchill.

The cluster boundary for all the clusters will probably change, and that includes adding some areas to the cluster, not just taking neighborhoods away.

I don’t see much change to Churchill and it’s already over capacity. It’s not on the Crown study plan yet either.

Being over capacity is a good reason for boundary changes, no?

Whitman and BCC weren't part of the Woodward plans at this point yet either, but they both ended up being included in the study.

Yeah, but as I said I only see a small portion goes to Wootton, which is not a big deal.

Think bigger. The whole northern and western sections could be part of a boundary change with NW, QO, Crown, and Wootton.

It could, but kids from Churchill needs to be bused much further to be redrawn and could got significant number of walkers to busers. Just from the map, it would seem to be the least impacted.

Plus the small single lane roads in Potomac would it make it a nightmare for MCPS to bus them further.
