[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the PP who posted above. I searched Google and the only document I could find was a school profile from 2015-16, where there were only 2-3 at most that matriculated to a top 20 school (the number isn't clear because the list covers 3 years). During this period, it was much easier to get into these schools, so I don't imagine it is any better today. The profile also shared the SAT/ACT scores, which are much much lower than other Catholic all girls schools. For example, VISI and SR have an average ACT of 31 vs. 25 for AHC.

I highly recommend that if your daughter is open to public school to consider that if academics is her priority. Five percent of students from Bethesda area MCPS high schools matriculate to top 20 schools. The percentage is much lower for AHC.

Why do you care so much about where ahc girls go to college? And iirc the last few years it has had girls go to ivies, notre dame, and the service academies. It’s a small school. Theres like 90 girls in each graduating class, so 5% is 4-5 kids. [/quote]

I care because I want my daughter to be surrounded by high achieving and smart students. I recall an occassional admit to a top 20 from AHC.  Five percent? Perhaps. But know that schools like VISI and SR are closer to 20%.  They also have around 100 students per graduating class...VISI may have a few more.

SR and Visi don’t have 20% of their graduating seniors going to top 20. This information is easy to find on Instagram. Not everyone posts but in ‘24, AHC had 2 in top 20 and SR had 3. Your information is totally incorrect which isn’t surprising given you are posting a 10 year old school profile. [/quote]

It varies year to year. Last year it was closer to 15%. The year before it was about 20%. Either way, it is significantly higher than AHC.

Show me a more recent matriculation list. They are hiding information.[/quote]

I’m not doing your homework for you lazybones. Why don’t you produce a list showing us SR or Visi’s 20% to Top 20?

Very easy to find on their websites. AHC has no matriculations on their website, unless I am missing something.

What you are missing is that you claimed 20% of SR goes to Top 20. Yet you can’t support that statement because it isn’t true. So I’ll wait why you try and am sure you will just post some incoherent reply like you’ve been doing so far.[/quote]
