Not true. Churchill is 47% white.

For comparison's sake, Wootton is 42% white. https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/regulatoryaccountability/glance/currentyear/schools/04234.pdf
Just a reminder to do your own research and not trust what people say on this board.

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.
WJ: 54% White, 18% Hispanics
Whitman: 67% White, 15% Asian
Churchill: 50% White, 28% Asian.
White people with their high test scores are so overrated
It’s not that White are smarter than other races. Just go read the other threads to see how many dumb white people not believing that there’s no pandemic going on in the world right now.
The concentration of affluent people which happens to be whites at these W schools that have money for tutors, etc. Also, the biggest difference is that college grad parents lead to college grad children. Affluent communities typically have college grad parents that embed the importance of education in their children.

Sorry. You will have to wait a few years for Woodward to reopen again. The animation video of how it will look like looks amazing though.

Where are you getting for information? The link below completely contradicts your assertion:

^pp is stating that without IB, RM would be nothing. But, this is like stating that without Kentlands, QO would be nothing, or without all the wealthy families, the W schools would be nothing.
All those schools are rated well because of all those factors.
QO focuses too much on athletics. RM is more well rounded. IMO, unless you love HS football, QO is overrated.

Agree! And their IB dept is not good.
I’m confused. Magruder, Rockvilke and QO has IB programs??
Why is RM’s IB program not good? I’m confused here too. RM (or MCPS) does not create the IB material, as it’s an international program. The same material is taught worldwide.
Unless your DC didn’t get accepted to RM, that’s why you said it’s not good. Please clarify.
