[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many kids (number and %) get admitted to UMDCP from Einstein? [/quote]

About 100 Einstein students apply to College Park each year, and 40-45 are accepted.[/quote]

That is really poor performance compare to schools shown below.

I'd want to make sure HS will prepare my kid for the next step. And given the cost of college, being able to get into the best instate option (UMDCP for us) is critical. [/quote]

Actually if half get accepted fro Einstein that seems pretty comparable to the other schools.  Of course loads of kids apply to high(er?) achieving colleges as well. It'a hard to know how many other schools Einstein kids apply to, but UMD is certainly the most common for all schools.[/quote]

K-town insecurity in a nutshell:

Einstein parents = insecure hearing about poverty and low scores.
WJ parents = insecure hearing that a W school doesn’t provide an advantage in outcomes for motivated middle and upper middle class kids.

You clearly have no concept of the area.  The Einstein folks in Kensington are not K-town.

We don't care about the "poverty" and low scores.  We care our kids are happy and doing well.[/quote]

So uptight! I think K-town just stands for kensington. I'm an einstein parent and thought this was funny. What about the kensington folks who are zoned to BCC? They never seem to get into these dcum "debates".[/quote]

NP: don't let anyone in Town of Kensington read this!  That's K-Town, and it goes to WJ, which is why the BCC parents don't get involved in these debates.

K-Town is the "Black Lives Matter but don't do a boundary study that might actually force our kids to go to school with (not rich) Black kids" crowd.[/quote]
