[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS has all their top students together in one place so they can claim number 1. It's really hard to compare that with MCPS with seven test in magnets, kids at top W schools where 5 were in the top 500 (and that is not the schools where the magents are located) so it's not so trivial to compare. [/quote] This is very true. The smart kids in MCPS are spread out all over the place. But, I think "smart" or having high SAT scores is generally a by-product of a student's SES. [/quote] I am a MD resident, my thought is it's probably not a great idea to put all high achieving students in 1 school. Other than test scores, high achieving students create a culture of competition and achievement and it's better if those things are spread out. Just MHO.[/quote]
