Wooton is better at most sports too.

"Huge Hispanic population" at Richard Montgomery = 23%.

Depends. How much $$$ do you have to spend on housing.

We choose RM for the diversity and opportunity for less competitive entrance to the IB program. Wootton certainly has a great reputation too.

What about it?

Wootton has more white and Asian kids, fewer black and Hispanic kids, and fewer poor kids.

hence, the SAT score

If your kid is motivated and somewhat resistant to peer pressure, you're OK with racial and socioeconomic diversity - RM is good
