[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s be real here, the soccer players from Sherwood don’t know the socioeconomic and racial makeup of Einstein. It’s a group of kids heckling their opponent and making a play on words. As adults, are we reading too much into it? Yes, it needs addressed but going out for blood because we think we know their intentions is wrong.

Look into the the students from the Sherwood boys soccer team. I’d estimate less than 20% are white. The remaining players are asian, Hispanic, black or a mix. It’s an incredibly diverse group of boys.

If any post should be deleted, it should be the one that accuses the Sherwood community of trying to keep their community white. Less than 50% of the students are white. How is that not diverse? Also, do you even know the history of Sandy Spring?

Sherwood is located in Sandy Spring, a community of quakers and freed slaves. Google our history and museums. [/quote]

A statement that is literally correct while also being wildly misleading about Sherwood HS: https://gis.mcpsmd.org/ServiceAreaMaps/SherwoodHS.pdf

Not arguing about what is or isn't "diverse," but Sherwood HS is one of the whitest high schools in Montgomery County.

Whitman 64.5%
B-CC 55.6%
Walter Johnson 51.7%
Sherwood 49.1%

MCPS high school overall is 28.0%.

Also, Sherwood has 11.8% Asian-American students, Einstein has 6.1%, and MCPS high school overall is 14.8%.
