Actually it depends. According to the G’town dean of admissions (see Washingtonian interview with Dean of Admissions posted by MD_Mom) it depends on the quality of the public school. If it is a magnet for example. The Dean even goes as far to say that the Fairfax, VA schools are less desirable than Maryland’s Montgomery County Schools because Fairfax’s Thomas Jefferson (magnet school for science and technology) steals the best and brightest from the other schools in Fairfax County.
