[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From these data posted, McLean is indeed showing its strength in its superior academic quality among the non-magnet public schools. Apparently it's the elite colleges' favorite. Good for them.

Yes, actually surprised at the marked difference between McLean and the other fcps schools' results.  I wasn't expecting that much of a distinct difference between nova public hs.  [/quote]

This is demographics, not ability or achievement. Most of the private colleges listed in the McLean’s matriculation list cost around $70k/year. Out of state publics cost around $40-50k. You would likely find a similar list at Langley or Madison. [/quote]

Probably so.  Also, the top publics in MCPS (that, unlike McLean, aren't losing 40 of their top kids to TJ or an equivalent every year) look better than Langley/McLean/Madison. [/quote]

Actually we have 4 strong magnets in MOCO, not just one, so we lose even more kids.[/quote]

Not true. Those are located in no mans land and require an hour bus ride in beltway rush hour to get to for half on mcps students. Most don’t bother applying, would affect their travel sports and ECs. Not to mention is just cruel logistics.[/quote]
