[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see that Wootton is an 8. Is it really that good? Are the kids entitled or more down to earth? (Generally speaking, of course. I know any school will have all sorts).[/quote]
Wootton has the highest % of Asian American students of all the HS in MCPS.  It's a pressure cooker, and has low FARMS rate and not much diversity to speak of.[/quote]

No that's not correct. Wooten has 37% Asian, 6% Hispanic, 7% Black, and 46% white.  If that's not diversity, I don't know what is.  True it has low FARMS (5%), but higher than Whitman (which reports less than 5% FARMS).

Less then 10 percent is practically nothing.  Sherwood has more diversity then that:

And people on this board always talks about how it's not diverse.

Don't know firsthand but heard that at least some people from Wootton might be "out of touch with reality" in some ways.  ie I think some people call is the slums of Potomac or something like that.  It might not have the same stigma as some of the other W schools in the area but have heard some people complain about it.

But as previous poster said, it's probably a mixed bag and there is a representation of all types at all schools.  (in terms of personalities, how nice people are, etc.)[/quote]
