[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our public is Montgomery Blair, which is considered the best public in Maryland, a well educated state.  Even there, out of a class of 800+, 2 went to Harvard last year.  Two out of 800+.  Give me an f*** break and stop with the nonsense that public school kids are all getting into Ivy's and people are burning money going to privates.  I understand that some people are too cheap to pay for their children's education and preferred to fund their retirement, I get it.  But stop with the nonsense please.[/quote]

Blair is ranked #12 public HS in Maryland[/quote]

First PP doesn't seem to know much about "his public" and is probably mixing up his views on Montgomery Blair (which is definitely not the best public HS in Maryland by any metric), with the tiny STEM magnet within Montgomery Blair, which is stellar and produces like 36 NMSF in 2025  (in comparison GDS/Sidwell who had 3-4 NMSF).

No one is arguing that all public-school kids are getting into Ivys, not when most have a 3-4% acceptance rate, so please stop with the stupid straw man arguments.   But many public high schools do have a strong track record of getting kids into Ivies, particularly the public magnets.  For example, TJ, which is a public magnet, is the only DMV area school that is considered a feeder to Harvard.
