I do not know what they are measuring?  LOL.  BCC, Whitman, Blair, QO, Northwest nowhere on the list.

How the hell is Magrudedr # 6?  How is Paint Branch and Wheaton even on the list?[/quote]

Magruder parent here.  Truth is that the school has some real benefits. Top group of students there consistently perform better on test like AP BC Calculus and AP Spanish Lit to schools like Sherwood, QO, Blake. It is very diverse (which I view as good), several consortium programs and decent community and parent involvement. Then students have a better chance of getting into colleges like UMD Honors since the competition internally is not as stiff in shear #s (that is a benefit).  And not a pressure cooker. Obviously it has some bad points too and I would never rank it above Whitman or BCC but it is much better than you think academically if a student chooses to challenge himself and I can understand it being ranked higher than NW, QO and Damascus (of course there is some bias).  I would have said that I view Rockville as very similar but of course now I wouldn't want to be compared to Rockville :)[/quote]
