Who said anything about Sherwood being Utopia?

My point is this: if you bother to move out to Olney and want your kids to build friendships from K-HS, then buy in a neighborhood that feeds into Sherwood instead of buying into Cashell. Otherwise, your kid ends up at a different HS than all the kids he plays sports with, goes to CCD with, etc.

And in Sherwood vs. Magruder, Sherwood wins (by a lot). But Good Counsel trounces Sherwood.

PS - Olney is more Catholic and conservative than I anticipated. It doesn't really impact our lives, but it's something I try to keep in mind when chatting about politics, etc. [/quote]

Good Counsel's academic program [b]isn't variably different than Sherwood[/b].  They do however cover up their controversies much better.  [/quote]

Actually it is. I would urge you to look at not only the programs offered but also how they are delivered. 
In addition, as long as the county continues their educationally unsound policy of students finishing full year courses in one semester, the problems with achievement will continue. How many times are they going to lower the testing standards in order to be able to claim a higher "pass rate?"[/quote]
