which schools in the county have some bad reputation in terms of environment and recent news headlines?

It was the n word written on a desk. I would find this outrageous if the n word wasn't a familial greeting in black culture and a must-include song lyric.
Disrupting an entire school administration over a double standard (which has been around for 30+ years) just proves that mcps is a political entity. I will continue to vote board members out until we get this right.

There is no Board that can fix this. You need to persuade the staff.

The classism and racism that is prevalent at Wootton is not unique to Wootton. It comes with the territory when you have schools that are de facto segregated. Those racist and classist attitudes are also in existence at all of the W schools, because those attitudes are common in circles where wealth, privilege and whiteness are dominant.

I worked in the Wooton cluster for years and did not find it to be racist or classist in any way. Just the opposite, actually. I found families and students to be very open-minded.

That's not how Black students, parents and staff at Wootton feel.

Please. Channelling Jawando who's smearing hundreds of students because of what one or two kids did so he can be relevant isn't credible.

From what I heard - someone printed on a printer, someone wrote on a desk, someone yelled something from a car. Was it the same or different kids? Were they suspended? End of story.

If you want to do an article about a crappy school, start with Blair. Now that's a school you can write books about!

It's not just Jawando. Black parents and students spoke and shared their experience at the PTSA meeting last night.

You're toxic.

Toxic is overreacting to a xerox print, a scribble on a desk, and a juvenile kid yelling. This is an engineered, overblown farce.

Did the Jewish kids at Blair get this much attention? No, this was engineered and contrived.

Jawando got his news day. Let's see how much more overreaction there will be on this.

You need help. You're not safe to be around Black people. You dismiss and diminish their experiences.

You do NOT want to talk about who is not SAFE around whom.

My white child is called the n word by black student ts. It's not being used as a slur. Should I complain?

There are massive disgraceful racial inequities in special education.

How so?

It is in how children receiving special ed are categorized. This article summarizes how this happens, and I have heard from people high up that it absolutely happens in MCPS. https://www.nea.org/nea-today/all-news-articles/disproportionality-special-education-fueled-implicit-bias

Black or African American students with disabilities are more likely to be identified with intellectual disability or emotional disturbance than all students with disabilities and more likely to receive a disciplinary removal than all students with disabilities.

And as someone with a child with special needs, this is not remotely surprising. It would honestly be shocking if it wasn't happening in MCPS absent a very concerted effort not to do it (and I haven't heard of any special ed-specific equity efforts).

I haven't been able to understand your position from the above ( I don't open links in conversations). How aee poc children categorized differently within special education

You can google "racial inequities in special education" if you want to educate yourself beyond what I have already provided for your lazy a$$

I don't. I was mildly curious to see how a small faction was going to hijack the discussion but it seems we're going back to "youre biased because our test scores are very poor so you think we have more intellectual disabilities " and so on.

Oh. "Lazy" was way too kind.

Blair is not the crown jewel of MCPS.
Blair Magnet, a small school within a school, is the diamond in the (very) rough.
It's at Blair specifically because Blair is a bad place, to boost Blair's stats.

It's the only way Blair parents can feel good. By importing 100 kids from other schools so they can ride the coat tails.

Blair is getting scary though. Guns? Attempted Murder? Wow.

MCPS is giving me the heebeejeebies and I'm just starting out.

The economic stratification doesn't deserve any respect. The massive schools with few sports teams doesn't deserve any respect.

I bought a house in the Rockville High School area, based on the idea that it's rating was about the same as the one I grew up in from a Rural state.

Well the ratings lie. The elementary schools in the area are dominated by ESL students. The high school is filled with immigrants many of which have zero inclination to be there. Leading to high profile news coverage, such as the rape case where the students ended up deported.

The school I grew up at which had a similar rating had incidents, fights or whatever, but nothing like that, and they provided excellent advanced placement classes and advanced math tracking, which MCPS just doesn't offer. Want enrichment and advanced placement go to a different school.

The thing is I highly doubt we'll receive decent treatment if we buy a small house in a good school district, where all the rich people live.

At our earliest convenience, we'll be moving to a different school district in another county far away from DC.

My kid just graduated from Rockville and our experience could not be more different than what you describe. My kid had a great experience starting in ES, including lots of smart, motivated kids in his IB and AP classes in high school. A diverse school, to be sure, much like the world he will live in. Maybe the RHS experience was so positive because people who are prone to judge based on race or ethnicity move out and the people who remain are the smart ones able to see more than that. Lucky us!

Totally not forgetting when students from that school got charged for first-degree assaults and the security and admin team not acknowledging what even happened about a month ago..

Social sorting explains many things. You're concerned about diversity of ethnicity; I'm concerned about diversity of scholastic ability. How do explain the absence of smart kids at RHS, why do they have to go to some other school to get a good education?

You may think diversity is making your school stronger, but the sad fact is that academic achievements have been politicized because of that diversity leading to the segregated system you so cherish. Scholastics function much differently when diversity isn't an issue. Every homogenous rural white school has advanced tracks for math and AP placement.

DD keeps in touch with a few kids from Rockville HS and they went to a MS magnet before wanting to go back to a school closer to them for high school. They are extremely smart and from what DD's heard they are really happy with their classes and peers. What are you even talking about?

You seem to have misread my post. There are plenty of smart kids at Rockville, my kid among them. Kids taking AP and IB classes, scoring 5s and 7s. Getting 1500+ on SATs. Getting in to Ivy League and other excellent schools. And thriving there. You seem to think ethnic diversity cannot coexist with scholastic excellence. I know from first hand experience that it can and does at Rockville. The fact that there are some kids who do not excel academically, for whatever reason, doesn’t prevent others from doing so.
