[quote=Anonymous]I will be your MoCo high school historian. I graduated from a W school in the late 1980s. At that time there were just three W schools -- Whitman, Wootton and (Winston) Churchill. There were no magnet programs at any schools and Woodward and Walter Johnson had just been consolidated (hence WJ wildcats instead of spartans). WJ was considered second tier, even below BCC. Very shortly after I graduated, a part of the Wootton pyramid was redistricted to RM. In order to appease very angry parents, they created the IB program. About that time, the county also implemented the STEM magnet program at Blair (which used to be the best school in the county when my parents went there in the early 1960s). Later, throughout the 1990s, as Bethesda became a more desirable place to live for well-off people, WJ's stock rose. It's a great school and one I would definitely select for my own children. However, I did not know that it had entered the W pantheon until I started reading DCUM a couple of years ago. [/quote]
