That's right, parents should just shut up and accept mediocre standards. Who are they to stand up for their kids and improving educational levels.

Educational standards, school culture, educational levels are all different things—and nothing about setting a school culture involves excluding parents; quite the opposite ( if you’d read the link ). But you are clearly exercised about some bee in your bonnet about substandard academics and aren’t in an absorbent mood. We can try another time. |

| Latin is obviously a dystopian hellscape that will be a smoking ruin after the at risk preference kicks in. Nobody should apply next year. |

| What are Latin's admissions actually like? I've seen BASIS (and Walls & Wilson) have admits to top schools, but haven't heard anything about Latin. If my kids want to go for a public "ivy" or a 4-10 SLAC, that's totally fine... but I want them to have at least a shot at HYPS if they want it. |

I suggest you search for the that recent question. Someone posted asking for Latin’s college admits and it did not go well for Latin. |

They don’t publish it … for a reason. |

2018: a sampling
Bowdoin, The College of William and Mary, Davidson, Dickinson, Emory, Franklin & Marshall, Goucher, Haverford, Macalester, Middlebury, Morehouse, Oberlin, SUNY Purchase, Skidmore, Temple, The Ohio State University, University of Colorado at Boulder, Temple, Tuskeegee University, University of Vermont, University of Virginia, and Yale. Looking for other years, but you should also feel free to email the excellent college counseling department at Latin; I’m sure they have a list. |

It’s a tradition to take this college t-shirt picture of the senior class. These aren’t admissions, they are where students have committed
2019: you’ll see Pomona, Harvard… https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/66820569_2357090411003611_2941819552834519040_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=dd9801&efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&_nc_ohc=9-8MiraDD3AAX84YtUT&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&oh=74c9987e3038c669244550359c2bfd1b&oe=61C8FC0A |

2017:
Students have received acceptances from a wide variety of institutions. They include Ivy League schools like Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth and Yale. They include selective private universities, such as Stanford and Georgetown and public universities like UC Berkeley, UVA and University of Maryland, Baltimore County. They include schools in the South like Morehouse, Spelman, Emory and Tulane, schools in the North like NYU and University of Vermont, schools in the Midwest like Case Western Reserve and University of Chicago and schools in the West like Pomona and Lewis & Clark. Two students were accepted at McGill University in Canada and one received a conditional acceptance to the University of Essex in the U.K. There have also been many acceptances to small liberal arts colleges like Smith, Mount Holyoke, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Middlebury, Oberlin and my own beloved alma mater Haverford!" |

Washington Latin has graduated 9 classes, this year will be its 10th: making a total of maybe 500 graduates in all? An open enrollment charter school in DC—no test-in, no zip code required. I feel these college acceptances and the millions of dollars in scholarships awarded are worth celebrating and an accomplishment worth supporting and expanding.

The only HYPS I don’t see on these lists is Princeton. Is University of Chicago any good? There is a Latin alum there now. She had to choose between Yale and UChicago. |

All I care about when I’m choosing a school is how my high HHI non-URM kids are going to do. The low test scores are worrisome. And I’m not going to be impressed by admission and scholarship numbers unless these are non-URM numbers. That’s just an unfortunate side effect of affirmative action (which I support, but which makes Latin’s data hard to interpret). |

No one is trying to impress you, lady. They are answering questions. Since you like acronyms, I diagnose NPD from afar—here’s your checklist. But you seem to be functioning well despite this disorder, so do carry on. Perhaps elsewhere? Symptoms Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can: Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it Exaggerate achievements and talents Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations Take advantage of others to get what they want Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others Be envious of others and believe others envy them Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office |

Well I guess it’s good that you’re not trying to impress me, because I’m not impressed. Seems like a good option if you’re trying to escape Eastern, Dunbar or any number of terrible EOTP high schools, but if your kid can get into Walls, that’s clearly a better education. |
