A lot of people very (overly) invested in this debate. In Maryland, the truth is that you spend $700K+ on a home in the best public school districts, or you spend the money on tuition, to get the benefits of those scores for the "average kid." Or you spend less, and you get this:
Dundalk HS: 990 SAT / 20 ACT
Annapolis HS: 1160 / 26
Calvert HS: 1150 / 26
Baltimore Poly: 1170 / 26
Balt City Overall: 920 / 18 (and doesn't matter because UMD system doesn't accept their diplomas as evidence of college readiness)
