[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]

+1 There's not one school in MoCo that would not be considered diverse. If you want to see "white"  schools, check out some schools in the Midwest or New England.[/quote]

Perhaps, but many schools exclude a large percentage of low SES groups by gerrymandering their boundaries. The county has a huge Hispanic population but W's, for example, have almost no Hispanic students. This is by design and needs to be addressed.[/quote]
