The profile also shared the SAT/ACT scores, which are much much lower than other Catholic all girls schools. For example, VISI and SR have an average ACT of 31 vs. 25 for AHC.

I highly recommend that if your daughter is open to public school to consider that if academics is her priority. Five percent of students from Bethesda area MCPS high schools matriculate to top 20 schools. The percentage is much lower for AHC.

Why do you care so much about where ahc girls go to college? And iirc the last few years it has had girls go to ivies, notre dame, and the service academies. It’s a small school. Theres like 90 girls in each graduating class, so 5% is 4-5 kids.

I care because I want my daughter to be surrounded by high achieving and smart students. I recall an occassional admit to a top 20 from AHC. Five percent? Perhaps. But know that schools like VISI and SR are closer to 20%. They also have around 100 students per graduating class...VISI may have a few more.

SR and Visi don’t have 20% of their graduating seniors going to top 20. This information is easy to find on Instagram. Not everyone posts but in ‘24, AHC had 2 in top 20 and SR had 3. Your information is totally incorrect which isn’t surprising given you are posting a 10 year old school profile.

It varies year to year. Last year it was closer to 15%. The year before it was about 20%. Either way, it is significantly higher than AHC.

Show me a more recent matriculation list. They are hiding information.

I’m not doing your homework for you lazybones. Why don’t you produce a list showing us SR or Visi’s 20% to Top 20?

We have done several visits, she has friends there, has had school visits, student led tours, and shadow days. She has loved the diversity at AHC. It’s the main reason she leans toward public for HS. She wants diversity that matches our county. AHC is about as close as it gets. Needing to cross the pike for math is absolutely untrue. While I’m not a parent there, my experience with the school has led me to believe it is diverse racially and socioeconomically.

Both are not that great both indoctrinate.

Neither has great college acceptances over all. Paying for them is silly over public academically speaking. .

One has a parent who tried to bomb lockers at MCPS bec they didn’t like sex Ed got a plea deal asked to leave MCPS accepted HC . Although her girls did go to UmD . She’s being investigated by FBI for Jan 6 participating great parent group.

One has hidden more sex abuse the. The other.

Good luck

Both teach students how to write more clearly than PP writes.

If you want to take Calc, you have to go to the boy’s Prep across the street. No.

They have poor communication.

I’d have preferred St John’s.
