[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]

What is Wootton’s graduation rate compared to all other MoCo high schools?  That alone demonstrates academic rigor and discipline. Graduation from high school is a key indicator of success (but obviously not a guaranty).

[b]Can you guaranty that Crown will have the same graduation and quality of college acceptance rate as Wootton does?[/b][/quote]

Not PP but this is an absurd question.  Even Wootton itself can't make that guarantee year over year.

And even if the answer is no, it still doesn't change the assessment of Option H when looking at the totality fo the factors and taking into account the best interests of all MCPS students.[/quote]

+1 Cohorts do matter - ask anyone teaching kids who were in preK and kindy during Covid.

With that said, it's possible that test scores and graduation rates will be lower at Crown than at Wootton but that doesn't tell you anything at all about your individual child. An individual high performing kid is going to do as well as Crown as they would anywhere else, as long as that "anywhere else" has a critical mass of high performing kids. [/quote]
