| Is there any way to determine this information? |
| Moving for that reason? Oh my! |
| I would be so to size, legacies and ability to pay for it, the western schools will have larger totals on avg but school to school it could shift from year to year. The best metric for high school grading is the college readiness index |

check this out. keep in mind for RM and Blair, top college admissions are, most likely, from the magnet kids. |
Which are also more often than not from the west part of the county |
| You privileged people are driving yourselve's crazy with this stuff. |
Yeah but we have nothing better to do. Not like we have to work for living. |
Seriously |
That was so mean but also really funny...
|
Thank you this is very helpful. |
Yep. Lots of families in the donut hole in this area, who neither qualify for need-based aid nor can pay full price. |
Half of the Blair magnet goes to UMDCP every year, because $. |
Yeah, I don't know about that. Plenty of families from the western part of the county decide it is not worth having their kid spend huge amounts of time on a bus each day to go to Blair, especially when you have already paid an arm and a leg to get yourself zoned for Whitman. |
I think if you are going through the magnet program you already know that you are a brilliant student. And if you are not going to an Ivy college, then it is a waste of dollars to go anywhere else if you can get a full ride from UMDCP. These kids are not doing Women's Studies at the state college. They are usually going for the more lucrative STEM majors. There is a reason that the MD state universities are becoming harder to get into for the coveted majors and at full scholarship. I think it is smart that Blair students save their money for graduate school. |
Amen. |
