If you could choose, would you choose Churchill or Wootton, and why?
I wouldn't choose either one. I would choose Walter Johnson, BCC, Quince Orchard, or a racially diverse private school instead. You don't want your African American child to be isolated or excluded.

Large schools create the worst clique behavior. Many teens in this type of environment have an awful experience.

This!
I have an AA friend who daughter graduated from Wootton a couple years ago. She did not have a good HS experience! Send your kid to WJ or BCC, now if they're a star athlete that may make a difference. Closer to DC the better the experience for AA kids....
You know the best school would be QC....best mix!!
PP- What did she experience? I'm very curious. My daughter is a biracial rising third-grader in the Wootton cluster. We have lots of time to consider our options but my curiosity is piqued.
She was always excluded. HS is where you're supposed to make life long friends and have great memories, not college, not work, etc....education was good though.
Are you sure it was race related? Did she go to Wootton zoned HS?
I just had long conversation with DS who had rough first year in Wootton after we moved to Rockville.
His explanation - W is big and VERY cliquish, not racially though. He spent almost a year trying to find a group of friends with similar interests.
sounds bad... Then add the race issue, double wammy.
Yep... not fun. Well, we're minority of some sort - English is not our family first language
It was hell of the year for all of us...

Partly race and the other I think, she didn't attend a zoned ES or MS.

To be honest, I would love to hear from both.
I am AfAm, we are looking to move to Rockville but I will like to hear from parents from these schools.
Any information would be great.
