It's interesting that you consider 32% to be majority Asian-American. The plurality demographic group at Churchill is non-Hispanic white, at 43%.
https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/regulatoryaccountability/glance/currentyear/schools/04602.pdf
While we're at it, let's look at the elementary schools in the Churchill cluster:
Bells Mill: 27% Asian-American, 8% 2+, 41% non-Hispanic white
Seven Locks: 26% Asian-American, <5% 2+, 49% non-Hispanic white
Beverly Farms: 30% Asian-American, 9% 2+, 45% non-Hispanic white
Potomac: 33% Asian-American, 11% 2+, 39% non-Hispanic white
Wayside: 41% Asian-American, 6% 2+, 38% non-Hispanic white
Asian families go where the good schools are. Churchill is an excellent school. As a PP noted, accurately, there is a decent amount of middle-class housing in Potomac that is a factor too.
Stereotype much?
Pretty sure the stats posted above back this up, no?
Not really. There are several other schools with higher percentages of Asian students:
Stone Mill 49.1%
Lakewood 48.6%
Snowden Farm 46.7%
Diamond 46.4%
Travilah 44.3%
Cedar Grove 39.6%
Cold Spring 39%
Matsunaga 38.8%
Wilson Wims 37.3%
Clarksburg 35.5%
Fallsmead 34.4%

As a PP noted, a difference in the two schools is the demographic makeup of the student body. Churchill is more diverse economically and racially than Whitman. According to the At a Glance reports, Churchill's FARMS rate is 9.6% (ever-FARMS rate of 12.6%), while Whitman's FARMS rate is less than 5% (ever-FARMS is 6.9%). The student body at Churchill is 43% white, 32% Asian, 10% black, 9% Hispanic. By contrast, the student body at Whitman is 60% white, 15% Asian, 12% Hispanic, and less than 5% black.

And Churchill's boundary may change due to Crown High School opening.
Wootton likely, but not Churchill. If Churchill, the slice that should have been assigned to Wootton might be involved. The bulk of Churchill neighborhoods are far far from the Crown site.
Churchill will be part of the boundary study for Crown, and the boundary study for Crown can - and likely will - involve boundary changes in addition to just reassigning areas to Crown.
Yes, because Wootton's boundary will change it will impact adjacent schools like Chruchill's. Further, many of these boundaries were drawn 40+ years ago and were intentionally gerrymandered to segregate. It's time to correct that as well.

So Churchill has better kids
If Better = Richer
Is it really rich? There are a lot of private schools nearby. But yes , more money reduces single moms and crime
What is wrong with Single Moms? I know a bunch; most are super educated and normal people, just happen to be Single Moms. Life happens.

As generalizations go, that one is accurate. Asian families in MoCo prioritize schools with strong academic reputations like Churchill and Wootton.

Is it really rich? There are a lot of private schools nearby. But yes , more money reduces single moms and crime
But seems to amplify drug use and racial incidents
Stats counter this, more affluent ate better educated and are more racial aware so they are better behaved and inclusive than the low ses south American or aa schools. Drugs are much lower and they are for rec use not making a living
? the more money they have the more they have to spend on expensive drugs. And you are wrong.. there are drug dealer rich kids.
