The following high schools in MCPS (in order of the 100% objectively accurate and verified Quality Report™, from best to worse):
-Whitman
-Churchill
-Wootton
-Walter Johnson

It's very important to remember that Wheaton is NOT a W School while Churchill is. This is because Churchill is the last name of Winston Churchill whose name begins with a W. You would be shocked how often this fact is used to start pointless arguments.

W schools are either The Only Way To Get A Good Education, Get Into A Good College And Find A Good Job or A Pointless Waste And Not As Good As Everyone Says, depending on who you ask.

Very witty. Important to insert some humor because we all take this WAY too
personally.

If you are on dcurban mom, you are an involved parent. Kids of involved parents
generally do well regardless of where they go to high school. Your kid will be fine.
