[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The W schools are predominantly White schools except for Wootton.[/b] W schools’ average test scores are higher compared to other schools due to the higher concentration of affluent students (or lower number of underprivileged/FARM students).

RM, with it’s IB program, has smarter students, but their entire school average test scores are lower than W schools since they have much less concentration to affluent (higher underprivileged/FARM students).

Keep in mind that affluent parents spend a lot more money hiring tutors, SAT prep courses, C2 Education, etc. [/quote]

Not true. Churchill is 47% white.

For comparison's sake, Wootton is 42% white. https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/regulatoryaccountability/glance/currentyear/schools/04234.pdf

Just a reminder to do your own research and not trust what people say on this board.[/quote]

Data came from here:

WOOTTON:

PP, your data is from 2018-2019 school year. The USNEWS data is for 2019-202 school year.

Sorry you lose or should I quote your own words against you:  “ Just a reminder to do your own research and not trust what people say on this board.”[/quote]

You two are arguing over a few percentage points. Who cares. Each of the W schools’ student body is comprised of mostly Whites. But this entire thread is kind of dumb because it’s all based on biases and opinions without any factual information as to why any school is overrated. [/quote]
