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.

[b]Best performing student body on standardized tests, college entrance tests, AP tests, high honor role, etc.[/b]

[b]Non-quantitatively speaking, they have very active student bodies, involved parents, pretty good teacher on whole, good college results. [/b]

All are large, 1500+ Student high schools.[/quote]

These are fairly objection quantitative and qualitative ways to judge a school. Besides special magnet or arts programs embedded in a host school.  It is not difficult to see why MoCo planners put special programs in far off schools in order to bolster real estate there and test scores at the school.

Our neighborhood has lots of african americans, but they all go to DC private schools and do very well. They don't trust MCPS. [/quote]

So typical of the elitist, I'm better and richer than you mentality. Again, far flung areas of MCPS such as Northwest, Clarksburg,  Poolesville, Damascus do just fine and lots of us have kids who are successful. The only magnet up here is Poolesville. We are not uneducated hicks or thugs up here as you would like to think so. [/quote]
