[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Potomac had a very high year (maybe 9?) and Holton had 5. Both far more than others. [/quote] Holton has 12 this year [/quote] Wow! Are they the highest private in the DMV this year?[/quote] How is that a measure of the school's academic program? That is a measure of how that group of kids individually prepared for the PSAT. Which was not OP's question. That data point does not tell a prospective parent what their child will experience at the school academically. Consider: some kids who do well on the PSAT attend abysmal high schools; they did well because of the individual effort they put in to taking that test. On the flip side, some kids at all the schools people are saying are academically superior did not do well on the PSAT. It simply isn't a useful measure for this much broader question. The question is what is the academic program at the school (even if some students don't do well at it).[/quote]
