Walter Johnson is a wonderful school, as has been explained in multiple threads on this forum if you bother to look. The only issue is that lots of other people think so too, and it's terribly overcrowded, but most core subject teachers are great and the administration is excellent. The kids are mostly all normal, decent, kids. They don't all throw their poo :-)

I haven't heard of this prank, and I really don't think it's important enough to weigh in your decision to let your kids attend. Academics and daily crowds are what affect students the most. Also consider that in 2025 there will be another high school nearby, which is in construction today - Charles Woodward. The boundaries will have to be tweaked. I'm sure both school will be equally good, but I just want to let you know that your kids might not end up at WJ.

They have had their fair share and more of issues this year.   [/quote]

Hmm... I keep track of these things, and the multiple knife and guns found on MCPS high school students this year have been evenly distributed among a lot of schools. WJ has been pretty quiet in that area. 
Sure, there's always the odd racist incident that is systematically blown out of proportion in wealthy white suburbs (because any excuse to bash on those schools), and completely ignored and swept under the rug in lower-income schools (because they're dealing with enough teen absenteeism and getting everyone to graduate that they don't even count racist slurs).
The sex scandal '22 was at Walt Whitman crew.
As for academic issues, frankly, WJ is doing better than most.
