Walt Whitman High School

Posted October 4, 2009

One of the finest if not the finest public school in montgomery county. My 2 daughters graduated from Walt Whitman and moved on to Under Grad + Gradschool. A wonderful community and great support.

Whitman truly is a great school. As a former student who is now attending a top college, I credit Whitman for making me well-prepared for the college atmosphere. I think the statistics speak for themselves: Whitman has been rated a top 100 public high school for the past several years, and sends boatloads of students to top universities. There are obvious drawbacks to the Whitman education. As has been mentioned previously, the Bethesda environment can put an emphasis on grades rather than actually enjoying school. Cheating is also a significant problem. That being said, I think this is a side effect of many 'competitive' high schools around the nation. Dr. Goodwin also deserves credit for his job as principal. He is a very down-to-earth guy and has chosen a very competent assistant principal in Mrs. Webster. The administration at Whitman truly runs like a well-oiled machine.

As a whole, Whitman is a great school. I am currently a student and I love it. The academics are rigorous and demanding and most of the teachers are sweet, and push you to your best. There are many sports to choose from, as well as clubs. Although some students might be a little too arrogant and uninteresting, this proves to be the case at any school. If you find the right group of friends, join the right teams or clubs, and take the right classes, you will have a fabulous experience here.
