I'll start. I wouldn't send my kids to Wootton. Too much academic pressure.

RM, with it’s IB program, has smarter students, but their entire school average test scores are lower than W schools since they have much less concentration to affluent (higher underprivileged/FARM students).

Keep in mind that affluent parents spend a lot more money hiring tutors, SAT prep courses, C2 Education, etc.

Wooton is more than 70% white and asian so.. im lost?

Wootton is not predominantly (50% or more) Whites as you see below as compared to other W schools.

Wootton: 44% White, 37% Asian.

You proved my point lol..did you not read what I said? I SAID wooton is over 70% white/asian

WJ: 54% White, 18% Hispanics

Whitman: 67% White, 15% Asian

Churchill: 50% White, 28% Asian.

Elementary school: Lucy Barnsley ES
Middle school: Roberto Clemente MS
High school: Richard Montgomery

Meanwhile, out in the real world, black women are the most educated demographic in our country and yet they are among the least likely to be promoted. Something doesn't add up here. I don't think people of color (more likely to be farms) is what's holding your kids back.

Really? What a pleasant surprise. Seriously had no idea. Do you have a link?

DCUM PROTOCOL:

It didn’t happen, it’s not true, it’s a lie and/or it’s made up unless a link to a source is provided.

Why are you being defensive? This is good news especially since it completely debunks the notion that Asian Americans are the most educated group in the US. If there's a study that shows otherwise, great.

I figured people here knew how to use Google, but here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/black-women-become-most-educated-group-in-us-a7063361.html%3famp

If you don't like this sourcing, google it yourself and find another.

That number includes associate degrees. I'm not sure that really counts. My sister got an associate degree in secretarial school a looooong time ago. She would not call herself "educated". And I'm sure you are aware, but not all degrees are equal. And I say this as someone who went to a B rated state univ.

Also, as a whole, Asian Ams. are the most educated - that includes men and women. But, if you split it out by gender and race, then that's a different story.

However, regardless, that is really really good news. Certainly, black women are much more educated than black men.

Yes, you can cut statistics many ways to say many things. Your last comment was unnecessary. White women are also more educated than white men.

White students also use drugs and commit suicide at higher rates than minorities. The fact remains that if you are a wealthy white family, your kids will excel in any school. The difference is the environment. Whiter environments are usually deemed by white parents to be better. But that is entirely subjective, depending on what you think is "better", and I think that w's are overrated because "lots of whites and asians" doesn't fit with my perception of "better."

Why are we discussing/arguing the education level of women or any race?

If you’re White, Black or Asia and you think you’re better/smarter than the other race, it’s shows how completely ignorant and uneducated you are. Same exact thing if you are a man or woman.

The only truly dumb people are the anti-maskers.

This article explains it better. Black women have far surpassed black men when it comes to obtaining college degrees but overall, black students only account for 15% of college students. https://www.essence.com/news/new-study-black-women-most-educated/

What don’t you understand about my post right above yours?

I am Asian but I know and friends with many highly educated black men and women. I even know lots of non-college educated Black men and women that are much more intelligent than their White counterparts.

So my question to you, what your reason for posting you statement? Do you feel that inadequate about yourself?
