[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call bull****.  In 2025, Jackson-Reed didn't send a single student to Harvard, Stanford, or MIT.  PolarisList.com .  If you are just going to make up stuff, you have to keep your claims vague and not capable of easy verification.[/quote]

Given that Jackson-Reed doesn't send ANY students to Harvard, Princeton or MIT, your DC's chances there are essentially zero.  Granted, your DC's chances at a top private are maybe only 3 percent, but those private school chances are still better.  Each family has to decide for itself whether a nominal increase in chance is worth a few hundred thousand dollars, but it is b.sh__ that chances are better in publics, even in top publics.[/quote]

No the stats do not lie they are published by public schools

Public’s always have a better record

Absolutely absurd to send your kid to a private for college admissions unless you are uber wealthy with major connections like the Kushner or trumps lol

Mine graduated from MCPS all Ivy acceptances all accepted at places like MIT places like Michigan or UNC or Georgia Tech etc [/quote]

PP obviously doesn't understand simple statistics or even math.  Publics have higher numbers because they have hugh classes.  At MCPS, the percentage going to Harvard. MIT, Princeton are awful.  The stats don't lie, check the Polaris List.[/quote]
