Oh please. We've been through this already. You have to look at it as a percentage of student body.

They have 10x as many students. And all of those students had to survive 4 years in public school.

Probably because the top MD publics are 2x to 4x larger than the top MD privates. Once you calculate the percentages, I’m sure you’ll see that the top MD privates clearly come out ahead. Please try to keep up.

Maybe if you’re stating Maryland only but if you include the top DC privates, then that’s not true. (Sidwell and Georgetown Day School for examples). Even Saint Andrews episcopal school, which happens to be in Maryland (in the same town as Churchill) and has children going to Harvard and Yale even though their graduating classes probably well under 100.

There you go again, not understanding denominators.

I think we have been through this already. If you take the 8 "Bethesda Area" MCPS high schools analyzed in last Sept.'s article, about 5% of all students matriculated to top 20 schools. You will find that in the private schools in this area, that percentage ranges between 15-25% depending on the school. Private schools have more success per capita. That's because the student body is stronger in general and colleges are more inclined to give them spots, all things being equal.

You're clueless.
Harvard would not give 10 admissions to just one school (let say Churchill), even though way more than 10 would qualify.
Yale would not give 10 admissions to just Whitman, even though way more than 10 would qualify.
MIT would not give no more than 15 admissions to Blair, even though more than 50 would qualify.
Admissions to the ivies and other top schools are limited, so percentage-wise, the private schools will always look higher because they have fewer students. (just 5 admissions to almost any private school already equal to almost 5% of the class; meanwhile it would take at least over 20 admissions to most public school to equal 5% of the class. Do you know of any ivy that would normally give 20 admissions to just one school?)
Private schools look higher per capita because of the limit put on admissions. All things are not equal.
Comparing on percentage in this case is like comparing apples to oranges.

No, you’re clueless. At least 8 students from Dalton’s class of 2023 are now freshmen at Harvard (https://www.instagram.com/daltonseniors23/). Not every Dalton student posts their results, but that’s the publicly advertised yield. It is entirely possible, and very likely, that more than 10 Dalton students were admitted to Harvard last year.

You’re probably right that Harvard wouldn’t admit more than 10 Churchill students in a single year. However, Harvard would admit more than 10 Dalton students.
Churchill =/= Dalton.

First we’re not talking about Dalton we’re talking about other DMV area privates. Secondly you are clearly clueless. Harvard is not going to give out 10 spaces to Churchill when MCPS has 20 other HS’ in its district.

The Dalton students are so incredibly hooked. It’s outrageous. It’s an anomaly. Shouldn’t be in the discussion.

This is an interesting analysis, so you’re saying that a higher percentage of private school kids get in to Ivies and other top schools just because these schools have a numerical quota per school? I don’t necessarily agree with that assertion but it contradicts all of the posters here who say not to bother sending your kids to privates because it won’t help with top schools’ admissions. If that was true you should try to get your kids to the top very small private school available if all you care about is college admissions.

LOL so you realize you just proved a point that private school students do better with ivy admissions!! Because of the small class size, their chance of an ivy acceptance quadruples! Thanks for confirming this fact!!

What are you talking about? As a private school, Dalton is much more relevant to this discussion and PRIVATE school forum than any public school.

Where can I find that?

You would need to dig for it. One way is to use the Instagram pages, but those are not always complete. Some schools publish their matriculations on their website or in their magazines (sometimes can also be found online). Some schools are very successful and others not as much. It really depends on the private school as not all are created equal. For example, looking at all girls schools in the area, Stone Ridge, Visitation, Holton, and NCS are very successful with college matriculations. Holy Child and Holy Cross don't see many going to top 20 schools. So it is very school dependent. Same with specific public schools. You're not going to see a ton of ivy admissions at schools like WJ or Einstein. Just look at Cornell, which had the most acceptances of the top 20 schools. There was not one for Einstein or WJ. So it is really school dependent among both private and public schools.
