[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]college admissions can be influenced by the wealth of the parents who donate to alma mater.  Legacy is not merit, even though in this country you can become a POTUS without any merit.

Doesn't matter where your kid goes to school. If their AP/IB scores and SAT scores are less than that of someone from a lesser rated school then they are not higher achieving.  What are you going to do with the school ranking? Bake it in a pie?

What is your own kid's ranking and how do they stack up against other students?[/quote]

As a Churchill parent, I agree with the above post. I only know our cluster and if Churchill is considered to be a top school in MCPS then all of MCPS is crap.

Kids at Churchill will always do well as a whole because parents are engaged and they can afford to supplement. Parents pay $2,000 for SAT or ACT test prep. Obviously that influences scores. When teachers struggle to teach a class they do not have the basic knowledge to teach (ie Math Department) parents hire tutors. If I had to do it all over again, I would have bought a house in a cheaper area and sent my kids to private school especially when the 2.0 disaster was rolled out.

Don't fool yourself if you think the quality of the education is better at W schools than the rest of the county.[/quote]
