Wrong! Holton has much better results. Too many Potomac grads go to UVA -- they could have saved $$ + gone to any public h.s.
last 4 year
Holton avg 77 students-
Harvard - 5
Yale - 2
Princeton - 4
Stanford - 3
calTech - 0
Holton avg 108 studnet -
Harvard - 12
Yale - 3
Princeton - 4
Stanford - 8
calTech - 1
statistically more Potomac kids going to elite universities.
Which one is Potomac? And does anyone have similar numbers for Madeira?

Going out on a limb here: you've never taking a course in statistics.

Do you have any clue how competitive UVA is for northern Virginia applicants?
I know about UVA, but it is not aspirational for parents paying huge bucks for private.

The ‘21 college list for Madeira was pretty impressive. Is it posted on their website?

I think the college counseling at Madeira has been one of its weakest areas. I could be wrong but I remember reading a few years back about the main college counselor being too out of touch and there were some bad experiences talked about online.

The nice thing about Madeira is that it starts at ninth grade. Otherwise the other schools are better.

Any insights into how the college admissions process works at these schools?
Would they affect the outcome significantly?
