[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:

These are the W's which are synonymous with segregation. They have almost <5% (read 0) Hispanic or black students. They have no FARMs students even though the county is 35% FARMS.  Their boundaries are gerrymandered to achieve this end. They claim they're the good schools, but reality is the test score by demographic group >5% is about the same as every other MCPS school. This is why they're overrated.[/quote]
