[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids went to River Hill.  It is rated high because it pulls from a very wealthy demographic.  There are very few, if any lower income students.   The student body and families make it very competitive and "extra." It can be a tough and stressful environment. It can also hurt with college admissions.  Many students from one school are competing for T20 colleges.  Funny that you mention Wilde Lake/Long Reach as "bad" schools.  I tend to think of them as a great diverse school with a good mix of low income, middle class and upper-class students. I personally as a mixed raced family would not be comfortable sending my kids to glenelg.  There have been several well publicized racial issues.[/quote]

The kids at river hill don't do basic studenty things like have summer jobs. There are barely any Black or Latina students there. Families spoil their kids rotten, yet so many have mental health issues. It's a mess[/quote]

Lots of stereotypes in this post. The school is about 10% black and 6% Latino. That’s not terrible when compared to the county as a whole, which is 20% black and 8% Latino. We aren’t talking like 2% or 3% here, and you make it seem like only the black and Latino kids matter.[/quote]
