[quote=Anonymous]Holton-Arms doesn't weed out average students. The point of the Washington Post's Challenge Index (where Holton-Arms is #19 in the nation and tops in Maryland) is to identify schools that have done the best job in persuading average students to take college-level courses and tests. Of course, Holton-Arms has its high achievers with more than 30% of the students recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Program (about 8% NMSF semi-finalists) and an average ACT of 33. As for being "spoiled," that is a subjective judgment that usually comes from a place of envy, but it is undeniable that Holton girls (especially the 25% receiving financial aid) are privileged to have access to a fine education and the 25%. The real measure of the school is the final product and the Holton Alum list speaks volumes about the school, but the same can be said for Stone Ridge.[/quote]
