[quote=Anonymous]I'd say just the magnets since all the schools listed here have merit selection. It is a more accurate picture than trying to compare a giant public school, like DC schools, where all students are required to sit for the SAT (for free), even if all half the kids do is sign their names. That seriously dilutes the scores and sheds no light on how good the school is for a college prep student. So where a public school separates the top students purposefully, like MD and VA do, you can get a better picture of how well the top students in public schools perform relative to private selective schools.[/quote]
