So by and large, the overall acceptance rates for competitive colleges for the Bethesda area HS are no better than the overall acceptance rates for those colleges.

Very telling. So an education from these schools, overall, confers a kid little to no advantage in college admissions.[/quote]

Why would it?

NP. When we were trying to decide what high school pyramid in which to buy I got so many comments about how I should send my kids to a "W" school for college admissions purposes, basically the notion that you should send your kid to X school so that they have a better chance of getting into prestigious colleges. So I guess it's just interesting to me that there is really no evidence that going to "top" public school has any effect on your college admissions. [/quote]

Those Whitman results are pretty impressive to me. There are a lot of kids attending top 20 Universities and top 10 SLACs., and a whole lot attending very good in/out of state publics.  It's also kind of surprising to me that so many kids are interested in traveling far from Bethesda for college. [/quote]
