Socially, this was my experience, as HS is more than coursework.

Churchill is the least diverse economically and culturally.  It churns out lots of sheltered daddy's little prince/princess types.  Lots of kids with unlimited spending budgets and wardrobes.  There are more kids driving new luxury cars here than anywhere else in montgomery county. The guy who developed 90210 created it based on his life at Churchill.

Whitman is an intense pressure cooker for many.  Not much economic diversity here either.  There are lots of diplomatic and IMF/World bank kids here some exposure to people from other parts of the world is possible.  Kids here tend to be slightly less sheltered and more down to earth than at Churchill. You will see more kids driving new VWs and Toyotas here.

BCC is more of an urban setting and has some actual diversity.  It is an excellent school and I think kids going here are less sheltered and are at somewhat of a social advantage for this.  This is the best part of Bethesda in terms of access to the city.  Kids here are more likely to be seen driving bicycles, Vespas, or a parent's hand me down car.  Definitely hipper than the other two schools....
