[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all! I have elementary school aged kids in the Wootton cluster and we are reasonably happy so far. Kids are thriving and learning but not excelling/outstanding (this seems more tied to their individual abilities vs Mcps). Looking ahead, we hope for them to be reasonably high achieving and successful adults and want them in an environment that makes them strive for more. Most all of our pre-kids friends have kids in privates (the Heights, Bullis, St. Andrews, Langley, Rochambeau, Maret) and expect their kid to achieve a lot like they have. They expect their kids to be the best they can be and get into great colleges and universities. 
Can our kids do the same if they work hard and excel in their classes once their time comes at Wootton? How is the college counseling? Is it more competitive and tougher to get into good schools because the kids are so competitive? Are we doing the kids a disservice by not considering private? Do the kids get into a wide array of great schools or is it mainly UMD And so on?
What kind of foundational work should I be doing now to be sure they are setting themselves up for success? Kumon? More? Help![/quote]

The top MCPS high-schools are listed here, but I'm guessing Wotton is similar to Whitman so I'd say UMDCP.
