Not looking like a great year. Last year was 180. |

| Oh this is so disappointing. Publish the names by school. |

| At the VERY least, how many from each school. |

| That is hilariously sad. |

That's a huge decline. Almost cut in half. |

Well, we don’t know what “more than 100” means. Also, remember there are fewer kids in this class. |

| Too vague to tell, it says there are more than 100. 180 is more than 100. |

| They say it is 12 schools but only list 11. Did they miss WJ? |

This is not a culture celebrating achievement. Pathetic. |

We don't call HYP T100 even though it's technically accurate. |

| For the ones above. Years ago, I lived in a small in Midwest. The high school nearby can only have 1-2 students qualifying semi finalist each year, no more than 3. So each year, they hold a cardboard saying “National merit semi finalist..” something like that to take a photo at the front door. Those photos were on the wall in cafeteria. Seriously, you can the ones back to probably 20 years. |

Last year (Class of '25) was 158. Class of '24 had 186. https://www.mymcmedia.org/158-county-students-named-national-merit-semifinalists/ Hopefully, they'll share the total number, rather than >100. |

they missed Einstein! (confirmed) Would be shocked if WJ didn't have any NMSF's this year tho. I'm guessing they did not list the names because for some crazy reason, *they don't have them* |
