[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, Wootton just attracts extremely smart and academically motivated people. IQ and grades are far more important there than wealth or sports. The Wootton area sends a good amount of kids to the magnets (unlike Churchill and Whitman) so the most motivated have already been pulled out which shows just how strong the school is academically.

Richest usually doesn't equal smartest so its not a surprise that Whitman and Churchill performed so far below Wootton. I agree with the PP that Whitman and Churchill kids are less motivated academically than Wootton families because they are so wealthy it doesn't matter to them but I also doubt they have the same high IQs as Wootton kids.  Even with more motivation, they might not score as high.

With the top ranking and a 93 percentile the trend of attracting the smartest people to Wootton will continue. Churchill and Whitman still will be prestigious because they are areas with very flashy wealth. If you want people to think you are wealthy, this is where you live. [/quote]

Churchill always ranks better than Wootton so people choose it over Wootton if they can afford, if not people settle for Wootton. Also, IQ and grades lead to severe depression and competitiveness, which makes a hostile environment in the school. Most wouldn't send their kids there, only the people who ONLY care about grades and IQ. Sad. [/quote]

Churchill has a different issue. A few people I know who, despite being able to  afford Churchill,  chose not to because they didn't want their kid raised in an environment where lots  of kids come from wealth and summer vacations in Europe are the norm. So no, don't think that people who are choosing a different school are doing so just because they can't afford Churchill. [/quote]
