[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The magazine doesn't list matriculation rates, just acceptances (as reported by the schools.) I don't know much about Blair, but I always thought the discrepancy was simply related to the small relative size of the magnets there as compared to the regular student body. I assume (maybe wrongly) that Blair magnet kids do very well in competitive college admission but that the overall student body does less well than other area schools (also maybe a wrong asumption, although the Bethesda mag stats seem to bear it out.)

Also consider that the Bethesda mag stats besides being subject to the vagaries of self reporting, also only include the. Ounty's most competititive HD - the Ws and BCC. [/quote]

Just an FYI as posted to our school listserve today.  Apparently the Sept/October lists are wrong:

Dear MCPS high school principals and counselors:

We at Bethesda Magazine were deeply chagrined to learn today that the headings for our annual college chart were inadvertently switched in our September/October issue. Because of that, the information provided by your schools was listed under the wrong high school. We know how popular this chart is with our readers, and how much effort you all put into providing us with the information. So please accept our deepest apologies.

We'll be putting the corrected chart on our website and rerunning the corrected chart in our November/December print issue.
 Again, please accept our apologies.
 Best,

Lisa Shroder
