[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lets not get worked up, really how many kids form Northwood make it to college let alone Yale[/quote]

And how many Northwood grads do you know??  I don't know many but I live in the catchment and every one I do know has gone to college.  No surprises, I know them through their parents who also went to college.  But it's true the student I know who is at Yale went through a magnet, didn't stay at the home school, but is a product of the feeder ES, so it's all good.[/quote]

The year my daughter (now at UMd.) graduated from Northwood, one of her classmates went to Yale (after being accepted at most of the Ivies) and was at Northwood all four years.

And, yes, many students go on to Montgomery College, primarily because of their economic circumstances. This program didn't exist in its present form when my DD was at Northwood, but it sounds like a good way for those whose families aren't in the DCUM demographic to bypass MC after graduation and go on to a four-year school with a lot of credits under their belts.[/quote]
