[quote=Anonymous][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You can google the mcps “At a glance” stats on racial and socioeconomics, noting it’s a bit out of date.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]

Which alleged incident specifically? There were at least three just that I heard about and they were confirmed by the school after investigations. Kids even testified before the BOE about the attacks by Sherwood students. You're really doing a disservice to OP by trying to misrepresent what happened.[/quote]

Yes, the kids testified.

There was shared culpability for some, and other allegations were patently false.

Einstein has a lot of issues, and so does Sherwood. I wouldn’t say either school is particularly racist.

I can report there are fights at both schools. You can ask your kids which kids are typically involved in the fights. (Hint: it’s never white kids beating up bipoc. Rather, it’s typically B on B or H on H fights…oftentimes girls.)

Einstein just had a lockdown last week.[/quote]
