Wootton is 45.6% white.  36.7% Asian.  6% Black and 7.4% Hispanic.  FARMS 5%.  ESOL &lt;5%.

Whitman is 67.5% white.  14.3% Asian.  &lt;5% Black and 9.6% Hispanic.  FARMS &lt;5% ESOL &lt;5%.

Blair is 22.3% white, 15.3% Asian.  24.5% Black and 33.5% Hispanic.  FARMS 36% ESOL 14.9%.

I think diversity is somewhat relative to wherever you are sitting.  Wootton looks diverse from the perspective of Whitman but not from the perspective of Blair.

[b]I'm not sure what the 4 means (back to the original post).  They are all good schools and I don't hear much of a difference between the high schools in MCPS.  [/b]

As an aside, thank you to the Iowans who posted![/quote]

The 4 in the OP is a reference to the Great Schools ranking of Walt Whitman. I think it was an 8 before, and this year it's a 4 due to bad PARCC test results.

Those Whitman students are such slackers! :wink: 
PARCC was supposed to be harder than the old Maryland test so it seems like they just aren't up to that level of education yet.[/quote][/quote]

Yet somehow BCC's rating of 7 didn't change, even though students there also took the PARCC test.[/quote]
