[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, this thread is so typical of MoCo parents. Welcome if you still plan to come to this land of crazies.[/quote]

Yup. Lord help them if they admit QO, as a school with some diversity, could be as good as their lily white schools.[/quote]

Quince Orchard HS isn't much less white than the less-white [b]W[/b]ealthy [b]W[/b]hite schools. It is less wealthy, though.

2017-2018 data because I still haven't figured out how to get the more recent data (and MCPS still hasn't updated the at-a-glance data):

Whitman: 67% white, less than 5% FARMs
B-CC: 57% white, 11% FARMs
Walter Johnson: 54% white, 8% FARMs
Churchill: 50% white, less than 5% FARMs
Wootton: 44% white, less than 5% FARMs
Quince Orchard: 40% white, 21% FARMs

Then there's also

Poolesville: 51% white, 6% FARMs (without the magnet programs, it would be like John Poole MS: 72% white, 10% FARMs)
Damascus: 56% white, 15% FARMs
Sherwood: 50% white, 15% FARMs[/quote]

Whitman is like <5% AA or Hispanic. These numbers are misleading.[/quote]

Right, you need to list the number of AA or Hispanic kids to get a sense of what's really going on, SES-wise. The reason QO has such a higher FARMS rate than those other schools is not because the white population is that different; it's because there are a large number of low-income Hispanic kids. [/quote]
