How did Jackson Reed do this year for grads on the college track?

What makes them so different?

This is Dr. D. Vageena responding to your question. My observations of JR allow me to say with great conviction that Jackson-Reed has adequately prepared their students for college and beyond. I am enthralled by the high caliber of the instruction that continues to take place at the school. As I walk through the halls of Jackson-Reed, I experience sheer euphoria as I hear our educators providing quality instruction to scholars.

Hi again folks! This is Dr. Dorselette Vageena contributing an additional thought to this discussion. Our educators at Jackson-Reed have been steadfast in teaching the curriculum to fidelity. I continue to be impressed.

Great college admissions this year from JR. Some have mentioned these schools, but here is a fuller list of top schools kids were admitted to: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, Brown, Penn, University of Chicago, Amherst, Smith, Bates, Spellman, Bowdoin, Trinity (Hartford), Carleton, Virginia, Michigan, Texas (Austin), Cal (Berkeley, UCSB, UC Santa Cruz), Wisconsin, Minnesota, Carnegie Mellon, Pitt, Maryland, Boston University, Northeastern, NYU, New School, American, University of British Columbia, McGill, Kings College (London), St. Andrews (Scotland), Edinburgh (Scotland), University of Amsterdam (Holland). That's off the top of my head. I'm sure I'm missing some spectacular schools. Keep in mind that JR is a huge school, but still, this is very good list.

Same poster as above. I'll add that these are where folks are going--so it's not three kids who got into all of the schools. At least one kid is going to each of these schools. If you count schools where kids were admitted but not attending (because they are going to the schools above), you can add Duke, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, and others.

I guess you people don’t count HBCUs as top colleges.

Interesting. Is this the first Duke admit ever from JR/Wilson?

Do Black JR kids get into these great schools as well?

No...why would you think that? There is typically 1-2 every year.

I've never known anyone from JR/Wilson to get into Duke. Except the recent baseball player.

You’re asserting that because you personally don’t know any Duke admits from JR they must not exist? In history? Are you for real?

Why are we talking about elementary school students from Marie Reed Elementary School getting accepted into colleges and universities. They’re in elementary school! This is obviously a thread created by a troll.
