What middle schools/high schools are best from introverted Black boys?

If anything they have a leg up as they get minority scholarships as college puts students in a lifetime of debt, they get pay outs based on race such as with Monifuh, the law if lenient toward the gang violence in classrooms- we will inflate grades, and paint a rosy picture when minorities harass teachers, etc.

The systemic racism card seems to be coming from the oligarchs who want to divide the working class by race. Just another reason for worker to unite against the oligarchs. Dont believe this narrative of races are the reason for America being a corporate wasteland. Corporations greed and shady corrupt oligarchs are the problem.

Ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for lamb pelmeni.

If you find a ‘ mid range’ school - you likely will be well served. Take a look for schools that score a 4 on the recent Maryland school report card and then check diversity.

Those rankings are primarily about a school's overall SES, for which race is a good proxy. You need to dig deeper than those silly report cards to see the bigger picture.

Those report cards don't tell the whole picture but they tell a lot and you should not dismiss them. It is possible to have a good experience in a three-star school, and it's possible that a four-star school has more flaws than you might expect, but best believe that a two-star school is likely as terrible as the report card rating makes you think it is.

This! All black people should stay away from Wootton forever. #BLM

This person is gaslighting you. W's aren't like that at all. The Wootton (and many other W incidents) are artificially blown out of proportion by Jawando or Wolfe. If you look carefully at the "W" incidents, you'll find it mostly consists of desk scribbles, yelling in a parking lot, or a black student using the 'n' word, etc. Compare this to attempted murder in Blair's parking lot in '21, loaded ghost gun in '22, ghost gun parts confiscation in '23, and it's a whole different class of incidents. Check the safety profiles of the schools and you'll see what I mean. But if you really are dead-set against a 'W', but you really want your son to thrive, I've heard good things about two schools.
1. Poolesville. At one time the Blacks there averaged the highest SAT's out of any HS.
2. QO. It's low-key with fewer violent incidents than you'll find in DCC.

Good luck!

You meant the attempted murder of a Churchill student by a Whitman student? Or the WJ student who brought a gun to school to unalive students? Or The Wootton student just tried for threatening to blow up the school... shall I go on and on.
Yes, the Ws are like that. Avoid at all costs if you're Black.

All of the high schools are so large. Seems kids should be able to find friends and activities at any of them.

My son is white with nerdy interests and has a diverse friend group at Wheaton. We’ve been happy with the school.
