[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re thinking about Columbia area, but could be somewhat flexible. DD is currently zoned to Blair in MCPS, but open to programs beyond the Magnet. [/quote]

Centennial is similar to Wootton - many parents are immigrant, scientists or other quantitative occupationa, Asian.  
River Hill / Marriott Ridge is more like Churchill or Whitman - second generation or more, some old money.[/quote]

This is very helpful. [b]DD is AA/white biracial and we are not affluent.[/b] A W school is out of our reach here. Would the same be true in HoCo? [b]We were thinking a townhouse with an easy commute to eastern MoCo where our jobs are.[/b][/quote]
I would choose Atholton High School because your daughter would feel more comfortable there.  It's more diverse and a good area for a commute to Montgomery County.   Also, if you are not affluent, then I will avoid River Hill High School because quite frankly a non affluent,  black/white biracial student will not feel comfortable there.  A biracial student from an affluent household will do okay at River Hill because they grew up in that environment, but I would caution placing a non affluent child of any race in that type of environment.      However,  I would recommend Howard, Centennial, and Marriott's Ridge High Schools, but they may be too far out for you. [/quote]
