[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know Wootton graduates from the heyday of Wootton in the late 90s and early aughts. Lots of them aren’t super successful. Lots of them are super successful. I know wooton dropouts from the heyday. I know those that overdosed and died after graduating. I know some of had babies in their teens. All this to say - going to “super academic rigor” high schools doesn’t equal success for your kids. I know more successful people from Gaithersburg, Watkins mill, BALTIMORE CITY. Your kids will be OKAY. Just love them and support them. That’s the most important thing for your kids. [/quote]

College and grad school are far more important than high school.  No one cares where you go to high school except casual conversation.[/quote]

Tell me you're not from MoCo without telling me you're not from MoCo.

Not saying you are wrong, you are 100% right, but this area has a thing about W high schools---excluding, of course, 1/4 of the actual W schools--I see and honor you Watkins Mill and Wheaton.[/quote]

I am a lifelong resident and when you meet another MCPS alum, high schools come up but I can't imagine judging anyone positively or negatively by where their parents lived when they were teenagers. It does give you a sense of if they grew up relatively affluent or less so, but it's not a perfect way to gauge that.

I went to a "bad" high school and occasionally meet people who also went there who are successful and contribute to the community. I've never once thought that anyone would judge me for going there (other than people on this board, lol). [/quote]
