[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would check the school profiles.  There's a huge difference between the two schools if you want your kid to go to college.

WJ - 
% of Students Meeting University System of Maryland Entrance Requirements = 67.1%
School average SAT: 1234
% of Graduates Scoring 3 or Higher on AP Test or Scoring 4 or Higher on IB Test: 70.8

Whitman - 
% of Students Meeting University System of Maryland Entrance Requirements = 81.4%
School average SAT: 1339
% of Graduates Scoring 3 or Higher on AP Test or Scoring 4 or Higher on IB Test: 84.0[/quote]

This is a bit misleading. These bulk averages aren't that meaningful. For example, in my child's demographic group WJ has an overall higher SAT average than Whitman.  In fact, it was higher than the other W's that's why I think looking at the bulk averages doesn't tell the full story.[/quote

Averages are just that — averages. There will be kids above and below at both. Regardless of where your kid is, your kid will likely feel some kind of pressure if he is a high achiever and strives to do well and be in advanced classes.  All of these schools have kids who work hard and stress and kids who goof off and don’t care. [/quote]
