Less then 10 percent is practically nothing. [/b] 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]

Less than 10 percent what?[/quote]

Ten percent of the student population.

Being made up of mainly two races doesn't make a school diverse.  Similar how schools that are minority majority are not diverse as well.

There have been several threads about what diversity is already.  But to me, a diverse school is where there is a decent representation of every student group.  Such as Julius West:

Using the middle school to not pick up the IB students who might live out of the school zone in Richard Montgomery.  But I think a makeup of that is diverse.

Once you go over 30% in any student group, it starts to look like they are a good portion of the school.  I think Wootton was about 30% Asians at the time when it picked up the name Wonton.[/quote]
