[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And how do they compare to high schools in DC? Virginia? Because that's what is relevant to those of us not doing a national search for high school admissions.[/quote]

VA schools mentioned on DCUM:

#5 Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology
#108 McLean High School
#151 Madison High
#160 George Mason High School
#162 Oakton High
#190 Langley High
#200 Woodson High
#363 Yorktown

DC schools:

#815 Wilson
#88 School Without Walls High School

I'd say since mcps has five HSs in top 150, it's doing much better than the surrounding areas.[/quote]

VA has talent drain by TJ going on. [/quote]
Well it's hard to tell how that would play out in the ranking.  It's possible that the home HSs still wouldn't break top 150, and you wouldn't have TJ at #5.[/quote]

It doesn't seem like a great inferential leap to assume that distributing 1800 students who average in the top 2% in SAT scores out to the Virginia high schools would improve their ratings.[/quote]

The top 2% could be ~10% in Mclean / Madison etc.  Maybe, this 10% can bump up their ranking by a good number.  My guess is that McLean HS could beat Churchill at least. [/quote]

Please excuse me; Are you arguing that if the 1# public access high school in FFX got to keep more of it's smart Asians it "might" rank higher than the 2# ranked public access high school in MoCo who also doesn't keep all if it's smartest Asians? If so are you saying that as a point of pride for FFX county or as a slam against it?[/quote]
