[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your family was at a crossroads and housing costs were not an issue, would you choose Churchill, Poolesville, or Whitman? [/quote]

I'd get far away from the money in Churchill and Whitman.  I'm not a huge fan of Poolesville, either, but that's where I would go.

AA PP is right.   They are racist as **** in the W schools.  I guess it's "good" that it's so blatant?  At least you know what you are dealing with.

But there is so much money, and so little supervision, many kids are doing drugs -- lots of them and hard core.[/quote]

Ok. That’s not what I need in my life now or later. Are the Potomac area private high schools the same?[/quote]

Incorrect stereotype. People love to bash Whitman on DCUM. Mostly because they are jealous. The racist incidents last year were done by a biracial kid to get attention. My DC has a large group of friends at Whitman, none of whom are racist or do drugs. I’m sure there are some, but it is by no means widespread. [/quote]

I agree.   My AA son just graduated from Churchill and says he didn't experience any racism during his years there.     (He did have a blatantly racist teacher -- now retired -- in 3rd grade in a Churchill feeder elementary school.)       And he estimates that 20% of the students were drug users, but that they are easy to avoid.    [/quote]
