[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The numbers are, at best, mildly cringe inducing.[/quote]

I think the schools failed to get complete decision data.  There's no way the "accepted" numbers are right.  I suspect that magazine will publish a note saying some of the "accepted" numbers were incomplete due to students not reporting outcomes.

The schools know how many transcripts they sent to each college for applications.  They don't know the outcomes unless the school is sending a final transcript because the student is attending that college.  These data are not right.[/quote]
Come on now! Every year the numbers are terrible and every year we got the same excuse from Arlington parents.[/quote]

But why do you think the numbers are terrible? If you are expecting APS to have the same college admissions environment as an exclusive private school or a magnet school, then your expectations are completely out of whack. Given the low acceptance rates to elite schools I would expect just a handful of students to be getting into those and that's pretty much the case. [/quote]

No.  They are comparing them to Bethesda Magazine’s public high school’s acceptances.  The MoCo schools blow APS out of the water.  See the thread someone posted today with the MD data.  You people are fooling yourselves of you still thinking a stellar high school education can be found in APS.[/quote]
