[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI, the WaPo article about the alleged racist incident at a sporting event shouldn’t raise concerns because it turned out to be a false allegation. Of course the WaPo and media didn’t bother to clarify that.

People down county love to paint Sherwood as as a lily-white school because it isn’t as diverse as schools like Einstein, Wheaton, Kennedy, etc.

But Sherwood is still diverse.

And like all mcps high schools, the bathroom situation isn’t great.

Re: private - good luck. So many people are scrambling to jump ship snd get their kids into private, but there are limited seats.

I think Sherwood, Blake, and Einstein are fine. Ditto for Rockville.

I think Wheaton and Kennedy are problematic.

You can google the mcps “At a glance” stats on racial and socioeconomics, noting it’s a bit out of date. Fwiw, assume all schools are more diverse now/2025 (particularly more Latinos). [/quote]

And to be clear: none of these schools are good/great.

Any private would be better.

But realistically speaking, it’s very difficult (if not impossible) to get into a private school coming from public middle school. If you can get your kid into a catholic elementary/middle, you might have a better chance of getting into a catholic high school.

As an example, St. John’s College High School in NW DC had 1,700 applications for 300 seats.

Is your kid an athlete on a travel team who could be recruited? Then you might have a shot. [/quote]
