Huh?


Lots of white kids at Whitman assume when they see a black kid that that kid will be a behavior problem because a large percentage of the few black kids they have in their grades are bussed in for the emotional disabilities program.


Can't imagine why more Black families don't want to live in the Whitman cluster.

What race are you? Not all POC are treated the same.


Children are half black/half Indian


OP, perhaps Richard Montgomery may be a good fit for your family. If you find a place close to Rockville metro station, it would be about 20 min to the NIH (medical center) stop.


Yes drugs, guns, overdoses, and assaults are all the rage this year

Part and parcel of large public schools, unfortunately. There were kids who od'd/passed out drunk in bathrooms in W schools; gun brought to school in a few other schools, including BCC a few years ago.


An incident here and there, but RM has had all of these this year. 2 guns on campus within 10 days of each other. It is not a school going in the right direction.

you're a worse gossip than the kids. There was not two guns on campus at RM. One kid was in RM building for a few minutes before security intercepted. The other incident was not found to involve a gun.

LOL at "an incident here and there" at W.

My kids aren't afraid of going to RM.

-RM parent.


As an RM parent, students witnessed and there is picture of what looks like a gun. When police found him over a block away from the school near a wooded area, he no longer had a gun in his possession. But come on now. Everyone knows he had one. You are worse than administration trying to cover up.

You are gossiping again. There is no evidence of a gun. *Everyone* does not know that there was a gun. "What looked like a gun" <> it is a gun. C'mon now. This is how gossip starts.

It's really annoying when you use facts to correct my false narrative. How else is a person supposed to fear monger these days?

As a BIPOC who attended BCC and had Whitman friends in close proximity, I wouldn’t recommend WW. Do RM, WJ, BCC. Einstein and Blair also come to mind.

So how do you propose MCPS stop kids from coming to school drunk? Do you think this is a good use of county funds? There are laws against underage drinking. This seems like a matter for their parents and the police to deal with.

Same as any other year. But seems to be more hype from the far right. Hoping to sway public opinion and their quest to make schools into prisons.

As a PoC in whitman, I do not recommend the school. If I could, I would move out of this cluster. Probably go to RMIB, WJ or Wootton
