[quote=Anonymous]OP here again. Yes, I've seen the Bethesda magazine rankings. I was surprised by how well Montgomery Blair seems to do with admissions. I have gone through the college admissions process once with my oldest son, who attended private school. My feeling is he did no better and no worse admissions-wise than if I'd sent him to our local public high school. I've always felt that once you've reached a certain level of competencthe among schools the differences are not that great -- at least as far a chances of college admission go. I do think some schools just provide a better overall experience for kids regardless of where they're likely to get into college. Peer groups where it's okay to be smart, families who are involved in their child's education -- these are the less tangible aspects of education that are very hard to capture through rankings.[/quote]
