[quote=Anonymous]I think my DC is at the same MCPS as the quoted PP above and agree with her points. My DC is in that same top cohort and it is definitely comparable to the top private schools (having had a child at one of those as well). A couple of points to the second PP above. I think your 10% numbers are a bit off. The graduating class at my DCs school last year was about 450 kids so the top 10% is 45 kids. There was a list of colleges in the school paper last spring and while there were a lot of Ivy schools I don't think it was 45 kids - maybe it was 25. But at least 4-5 went to Stanford, 8-10 went to each of Williams and Amherst. The kids do very well. As to the legacy factor - at least at this school the parents are as well educated as at the private schools. Based on my experience there are many ivy league graduates in the parent body. [/quote]
