[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious about it. I am asian, but I don't live in Wotton HS school district. Does the HS have better programs than most others? Or top college admission rate?

Does mcps has a survey /database which college kids go to after graduation? [/quote]

Multiple reasons. First- Asians like to be with other Asians like other groups. Look at other high schools in the area and you'll see somewhat of a similar pattern. Look at Clarksburg- tons of Indian families there. Second- Wootton has a reputation for churning out lots of college-bound kids with high GPAs and it's known as a pressure cooker which attracts some Asian families. Third-  While it might not have the cachet as a W school in Bethesda or Potomac, purchasing a house in the Wootton cluster is less expensive. 
 
The core academic offerings at all high schools in MCPS are the same with some variances in the AP classes and foreign language offerings. There are also some variances in signature and career programs. Some schools also offer IB.   The MCPS website shows the graduation rate of individual schools. MCPS has one of the highest graduations rates overall in the state. [/quote]
