[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're trying to decide whether to start saving for private high school or stay in MCPS. [b]I was very shocked at how bad competitive college acceptance was for MCPS including the four "W" schools.[/b] We are not aspiring for Ivy league. Our kids are very smart but normal not gifted. Athletic but not national championship level. I hate the idea of paying for 4 years of private school and then college but I don't want UMD to be the top high stretch goal school and a community college to be the probably choice.

Is there a reason why MCPS grads'  acceptances are so incredibly low? [/quote]

Where did you get the data on college acceptance for MCPS by school?

There's a lot of information in this report about college attendance and graduation by gender and demographic group:

http://montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/sharedaccountability/reports/2012/College%20Enrollment%20Persistence%20and%20Degree%20Attainment%20final.pdf

but they break it down into four-year colleges and two-year colleges, not "competitive" colleges. And also it's district-wide, not by high school.

Actually Table 1 (p. 12) lists the four-year institutions the most MCPS graduates enrolled in --  not surprisingly, UMCP is at the top of the list.[/quote]
