[quote=SAM2][quote=Anonymous][quote=SAM2][quote=Anonymous]A W school. [/quote] Forgive my ignorance. What's a "W school"? Does this mean Wilson? Walt Whitman? Wootton? Winston Churchill? Woodson? Wheaton? Something else?[/quote] The reference was in the context of MCPS so that eliminates the DC and VA schools. It generally means Whitman, W. Churchill, Wootton, Walter Johnson and BCC, which are the highest scoring non magnet MCPS high schools. [/quote] OK, thanks. There do seem to be a lot of MCPSs with W in the names! So which school was PP talking about? Why not just name the school, and instead refer to some vague cluster? If it's really true that more than half of every class is taking precalculus in 9th grade or earlier -- and then presumably taking calculus by 10th grade -- that's pretty impressive. I'd sure want to check out that school. Also, I guess I can see the others as "W schools," but where is the "W" in BCC? Apologies for all the questions today.[/quote]
