[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are public schools in Montgomery County.

Walt Whitman
Winston Churchill
Thomas Wootten
Walter Johnson

Notice they all have a W in their name.  They are on the West side of the county and tend to have less economic (and therefore racial) diversity than the other schools in the county.

Wooten is a W school now? From my impression, they are Whitman, Churchill, WJ, and B-CC[/quote]

Wootton has always been a W school.[/quote]

You must not be from MoCo bc Wootton has not always been a W school. W schools in the past referred to Winston Churchill, Walt Whitman and Walter Johnson bc their names begin with the letter W and they were also rivals. They are also situated in the richest part of MoCo and were more white (another meaning to W schools). Wootton still isn’t really a W school but parents in that area have tried to place it in that group (you can guess why). The Wootton area wasn’t always expensive or nice. Same with B-CC, which used to be a horrible area. Many ppl don’t even realize what actually happens at W schools...lots of drugs, alcohol, racism, classism, cheating scandals, parents getting minorities and low income kids kicked out, focus groups to help with testing stats.

-signed someone who’s lived in MoCo way too long, graduated from MCPS and has worked for MCPS. [/quote]
