[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is directly related to the earlier post about top tier privates. The reason "middling" kids get in to top colleges from these schools is that colleges know that they are prepared. Many public schools are a different story.[/quote]

Tell that to this area's top publics, which teach math beyond AP Calc BC. My 10th grader in Montgomery County Public schools is going into multivariable calculus next year. No private school in the DC region teaches that.

Maybe you should accept that decent universities know a bit more about the rigor in private and public high schools than you do.

Are you finished bragging about the only thing left in MCPS worth bragging about (in the 90s?) Blair magnet.

This is precisely where you reach max cognitive dissonance - a school filled with majority first generation Hispanic from silver spring as well as first generation hospitalists from South Asia in Rockville and a few anglos wacky enough to live in MS 13 TP.

There are two schools in one building!

Talk about two Americas!
