I care because this information tells me more about the overall atmosphere of the school.  I was surprised to see how very few students have gone to Ivy League schools in the last 8 years, for example.  Ivy League schools can be extremely generous with financial aid, although families earning around 175,000-300,000 still probably feel priced out.  It makes sense that the most popular schools would be local and public.  I am curious, however, if some high schools have a very low percentage attending Montgomery College and a more significant percentage attending Georgetown, which is also local, albeit private.  There are a number of Einstein grads at Catholic U., which is both private and expensive.  I think that it may offer merit scholarships, however.[/quote]

families earning around 175,000-300,000 still probably feel priced out.  <----- I would venture a guess that many or most of the families whose stats you are looking at are priced out of these schools.

Again, this is why half the Blair magnet goes to UMD CP every year.  These kids are very high performers.  They qualify for Ivy League schools and similar.  They cannot afford them.[/quote]
