[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, but then why do more large public MCPS make the list than large FCPS schools? That was my question. [/quote] #1) TJ. The majority of FCPS kids who go to HYPS end up at TJ. So the concentration of upper SEC goes there. Essentially, TJ is like the combination of the top 3 schools combined. #2) Even though it appears that MCPS has more schools with higher HYPS acceptance, FCPS actually sends more kids: 106 vs. 94 (based on public only, top 8 schools in each county). That is 12.7% difference, means that there is a higher overall rate.. #3) The list doesn't address the number of kids that end up going to HYPS- so you are seeing the number of schools vs. number of kids. But as TJ draws from all of the schools in the area, it's almost impossible to really guage where these kids would go and how it would effect HYPS acceptance. Hope that helps. [/quote]
