Competitive schools that were easy to get into for kids in our HS

We can read which is why we’re saying it doesn’t make sense. Large public doesn’t matter, 10 kids admitted in one year for a small school like Dartmouth didn’t happen. Over several years, sure.

50 Dartmouth apps? Not in one year, no. Over several years, who knows.

Many, many cities have specialized or high-SES public high schools that have a lot of apps to top schools, but not this many.

How do you know? What about trends and group think? You can’t say for certain that 50 students didn’t apply.

50 applying isn’t the issue, 10 being accepted from same school is. The incoming class is small, yes, they like some schools, but 10 is a lot.

Also, unless I missed it, OP never specified the apps/data were from one year only.

St. Johns School in Houston has well in excess of 10 get into U Chicago every year.

Totally different, that is not surprising, big difference between U Chicago and Dartmouth and Brown on numbers.

I think everyone assumed given it wasn’t stated and OP has left the building after causing a stir. 😄

DP. That points to OP being a troll.

That's private. This is about publics.

Dear self-selected forum moderator...who said this was about publics. The question was broad and she added that the one high school she cited was public. But she never said, only give me information about publics.

Sometimes when you see a chunk of kids all getting into one school, it can be sports related. One year a full boat of the women's crew team got accepted to the same school.

What would make you think Nashville?

I was thinking somewhere in Texas.

Most school reports list the last 5 years. OP likely is including all information in the report. Still the numbers are exceedingly impressive.
