[quote=Anonymous]The high school with the best outcomes is the one that is wealthiest and that has the most legacy parents. Because full pay, the ability to ED, and legacy status matter a lot more than McLean v Oakton vs Madison v Chantilly. If you aren’t wealthy or a legacy or a URM, Langley isn’t going to give your kid an edge over Madison. It might hurt your kid, if there are legacies in their class with similar credential who beat them out for a spot. Your kid will see similar results from any schools in the top 1/2 of the FCPS heap. I had a kid graduate from TJ and go non-engineering/CS STEM a kid from the top of a base school who also applied with a humanities focus They each got admitted to the school the other kid attended and had a very similar range of options. Which was fine. The TJ kid wasn’t there for a college admissions bump. [/quote]
