Underwhelming list.[/quote]

Hardly underwhelming, imo!!

Underwhelming since Whitman is one of the best HS in the one of the best school districts in the country.[/quote]

It is a rich white public school with no magnet.

The private schools and magnet programs are much tougher. The other MCPS schools have special programs or the top students stand out in a sea of mediocre.

MCPS does grade inflation (no district gives a whole 1.0 increase for honors courses and that scale table without number grades - yikes!)  Regional admissions have to try and recalculate MCPS grades. They hate that they took away final exams, and offer AP’s to nearly everyone now, while honors is “not remedial” meaning most take them, especially a school like Whitman. There isn’t much of a way to stand out.[/quote]
