[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]People want W schools for a reason[/b], better test scores, more involved parents and stronger PTA and less of a chance your kid will get stabbed in the hallway or have their designer jacket stolen.[/quote]

... access to lots of designer drugs, nice cars in the parking lot, spoiled kids. Yep, I want to live in the W cluster.[/quote]

Hey, at least those kids can pass standardized tests and will go to college! [/quote]

Between 2001 and 2010, 47% of MCPS [b]graduates[/b] went to four-year colleges in the fall after graduation. Do the high schools in Bethesda and Potomac account for 47% of MCPS enrollment?

Graduates implies you graduated. Start there. Then worry about the community college or (gasp) a 4 year university stats. [/quote]

What is your point? But ok. Between 2001 and 2010, there were 94,232 high school graduates. Did the high schools in Bethesda and Potomac produce 94,232 graduates in 10 years, for an average of 9,423.2 graduates per year.
The total current school capacity of Whitman, Wootton, Walter Johnson, and Churchill combined is 8,385.

Plus also I personally know several people who graduated from non-Bethesda, non-Potomac MCPS high schools during that time period![/quote]

I don't know what your real problem is, but HS graduation rates and college acceptance rates are easy to find and more informative. 
Many people move to the area only armed with those stats. And maybe DCUM because it pops up in many searches for home buying. [/quote]
