[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fail to see how Wootton could be higher pressure than Churchill. There is a huge thread and local media covering grade inflation in MCPS. Is Wootton not buying into the grade inflation or something? Is it really true that an A at Churchill equals a C in Wootton? Unlike private schools, I'm pretty sure that MCPS doesn't do class rankings so there isn't the competition to get into the top 10 spots. There are numerous sections of AP and honors classes at both schools so there couldn't be any competition to get into certain classes. The pressure cooker comments sound like myths.

I also fail to see how Churchill is considered so amazingly ultra wealthy when the majority of areas feeding it are older houses under 1M. How is someone in a 70s split level worth between 700K-800K house affording to buy their kid a BMW? Beverly Farms and Cold Spring are not filled with big mansions just lots of older mid level houses built in the 70s. In fact the houses surrounding Churchill are not mega mansions. Whitman has far more multi-million dollar in bounds but for some reason the myth of wealth at Churchill persists. [/b]

I think these stereotypes are out dated and don't really represent the changes in the overall school system and area over the past decade. [/quote]
Look can be deceiving my friend.  Look at the cages they call "homes" in DC. They go for over a million dollars and with bad schools. 
Yes Churchill is wealthy,  not a myth. Have you seen the mega mansions in Potomac? [/quote]
