It cracks me up to see Wootton (pronounced "Wootin'", almost as one syllable) so top-rated these…read moredays. I was in the first class ever at the brand-new Wootton, 1970, and we were known as the "Redneck high school." My parents were appalled that we were being sent there instead of Churchill. Funny, too, all these comments about lack of "diversity." Aside from noting that a high-school education fails to teach that true diversity has nothing to do with how people look, I can tell you in those days we had quite a few black students who were bused in from Tobytown over on River Road. (It was closer than Churchill.) I generally hated high school so I can't comment on the quality of education, though there were a few outstanding teachers, two of whom became personal friends. Today Montgomery County is high on my list of places to avoid on principle.

While I did get top-quality education at Thomas S. Wootton, aka Woo-ten, or WOOT'n (no one can ever…read morepronounce it), the school itself lacked in diversity. Sure, it was one of the top public schools in the nation with a 95% graduation rate, but everyone was SO spoiled (including myself). If I were to ever move back to MD and have kids, I would never send my kids there. (I guess never say never). Wootton does offer 1st class education, but not 1st class etiquette/social skills. I take 1 star off for the lame brats who go there (including myself, an alumnus)... but seriously 4 stars b/c I don't want the public school system to hate on me.

My youngest received a Merit Award last night. The event consisted of middle school age children…read morefrom all over Montgomery County. The award ceremony took place at Winston Churchill HS. I truly believe any facility dedicated to the education of our future (our children) should be given five stars. I was a little perplexed about the size of the lockers. They look like they belonged in an elementary school. In this day and age where high schoolers are 10 feet tall, I don't think they should have to get on their knees to get in and out of their lockers. Maybe that is their exercise for the day. Who knows. The school was very clean and their trophy case was loaded. I would have taken a picture, however I hate to be in pictures (via reflective glass).

Each class is followed by a study hall, so students get the support they need and never bring home homework or projects. If you have a student that needs a flexible schedule, due to sports, or if you have a child with special learning needs, Fusion is a great fit.
