Look at the colleges this year’s graduates will attend next year from each school. It’s a decent comparison. Boys Latin has been sending more kids to the top universities more than any other private school. Except for the girls and boys lacrosse teams the rest of the graduates at McD attend the same schools as a public school graduate. Gilman graduates list of schools that their seniors will be attending next year is even less impressive ( I’ve never heard of some of the schools their lacrosse players will be attending).Loyola and CHC graduates attend colleges similar to their high school; just mediocre. Don’t know about the other schools.
"They all go to College Park so Gilman is the same as Lansdowne." Peel back the onion a bit further.
MD Private school graduation rate: 98-100%, almost all through normal graduation.
MD Public school graduation rate: 40-75%, not counting an additional 10%-25% GRE/HiSET or "alternative graduation." (total public % is 83%)
MD Private school college admittance rate: 96-99% (percent of most recent year grads admitted to any college)
MD Public school college admittance rate: 61%
MD Private School graduates college enrollment rate: 94% (percent of 18-24 year olds actually attending college)
MD Public School graduates college enrollment rate: 38%
There is a long list of problems with MD private schools, and assessing their *actual* value to students is full of pitfalls and false assumptions too. But the false "public and private are the same education" equivalency needs to be thrown away here.
