In particular Wooton. Tks. |
Are you kidding? No way! MCPS would be so embarrassed. They can't even get half their kids to pass basic Algebra tests. Most don't go to college and many that do go to community college. |
Most of who don't go to college? If you are saying that "most" MCPS graduates don't go to college you are full of it. |
MCPS college matriculation data, system-wide:
http://montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/sharedaccountability/reports/2012/College%20Enrollment%20Persistence%20and%20Degree%20Attainment%20final.pdf "From 2001 to 2009, 74% of MCPS graduates went to college within the first year after high school, including 40,576 (48%) who went to 4-year institutions and 26% who went to 2-year institutions;" |
So not even half of Montgomery County go to a 4 year college? That is pathetic |
You know, there's quite a lot of information in the report. If you read it, you might learn something. Research Question 8: What proportion of the MCPS full-time fall college enrollees earned a bachelor’s degree or higher within six years after high school among demographic groups? Based on data available for the nation and Maryland for 2001–2003 graduates who enrolled in the fall full time, 67–68% of MCPS enrollees earned a bachelor’s degree or higher within six years, compared with 56% in the nation and 64–65% in Maryland. For MCPS 2001–2004 full-time fall college enrollees, 67% earned a bachelor’s degree or higher within six years after high school graduation, including 49% of African American, 71% of Asian, 43% of Hispanic, and 74% of White students. Of MCPS 2001–2004 full-time fall college enrollees, 62% of males and 72% of females earned a bachelor’s degree or higher within six years after high school graduation. The gender gap was about 10 percentage points for full-time fall enrollees every year. Of MCPS 2001–2004 full-time fall college enrollees who received FARMS services in Grade 12, 42% earned a bachelor’s degree or higher within six years after high school graduation. Of MCPS 2001–2004 full-time fall college enrollees who received special education services in Grade 12, 41% earned a bachelor’s degree or higher within six years after high school and among full-time fall college enrollees who received ESOL services in Grade 12, 26% earned a bachelor’s degree or higher within six years after high school. For the full-time fall college enrollees across the years, the bachelor’s degree attainment rates within six years remained relatively stable for students who received FARMS and special education services; however, there was a decrease of 11 percentage points for students who received ESOL services in Grade 12. |
If you call the school, the counseling office should be able to give you the data. The school my kids go to give that information out, freely.

Thanks! I will call the school and see if they will provide it. |
I like this above stat because it includes more recent years than 2004. MoCo is a very large county, so these averages aren't helpful for determining quality of colleges, college graduation rates, or tough/easy majors. |
Bethesda Magazine lists the stats for 6 of the high schools each year (in the fall, probably). Wooten is one of those. Also: B-CC, Whitman, Churchill, Walter Johnson, and Blair, I believe. |
