Wootton is one of the most exceptional schools in Montgomery County. They provide many opportunities for students to engage in academics through out-of- school clubs and in school activities. They provide any needed resources that students would need. Our staff does a good job making any pep rally or football game a great time! Teachers make themselves readily available for any student who needs help, our administrators and counselors are nothing but friendly and helpful to everyone. Wootton offers many great programs for students to excel in such as Academy of Information Technology (AOIT) or our Science, Technology, and Research Scholars (STARS) program. We also hold great theater performances year around. Personally, I have never once felt unsafe at Wootton. Our security guards are always walking around during classes and all doors around the school are locked during classes. Wootton is great school overall for any student! Go Patriots!

My experience at Wootton has been an interesting one. I feel like Wootton can become such a better school if we had more active teachers and more programs to help support students of minorities, mental illnesses, etc. We need assemblies to educate our students! I also believe that there should be a better system for welcoming new students. However, I believe the teachers are very reliable and helpful. It would also be nice to have more scheduled meetings with counselors!
During my time at Thomas S. Wootton, I was encouraged to meet and surpass my academic goals through encouragement from engaging faculty and peers. During my time in high school I was a competitive speed skater and faced many obstacles in my studies. Between classes, training, and traveling internationally for competitions, balancing my time and meeting academic deadlines were huge concerns of mine. Thankfully, all of my teachers were extremely understanding of my special situation, were committed to helping me catch up after absences, met with me one on one to go over material I had missed, and were very gracious in helping me stay on track. Overall, my time at Wootton prepared me tremendously for my entrance into college and has shaped me into a dedicated student.
