| NP. It seems hard to believe that there would be a policy violation since most universities release and/or post that information anyway. Please try to be reasonable and avoid gratuitous attacks on other people. |

They release names of students who matriculate. PP said no one was even accepted. |

| Right but someone was getting hysterical that a poster indicated that they were told by someone in a university admission's office that no one from TC had been offered admission. The hysterical poster claimed that this was a policy violation and would not happen, which is absurd because the universities release this information as a matter of practice. The hysterical person was upset that someone claimed that no student was offered admission to Princeton this year. |

DP. Five seconds on google found the college-bound lists from 2017 and 2016 that included Princeton. |

No one was hysterical, they just told pp they didn’t believe her. |

I beleive the question was this year, not last year or the one before. So, how many from the most recent class were accepted to Princeton? None is your answer. |

| Why are you focused on one college? Let’s compare college matriculations with other nearby high schools with similarly diverse populations. West Potomac, for example. |

Stop frothing. Even if you are correct that no one this year was accepted to Princeton (and I have no more reason to believe you spoke to someone in the admissions office than I do to believe the other poster knows someone who was accepted), it doesn’t change the fact that students were accepted to Princeton the past two years, meaning that, even if no one was accepted this year, TC Williams is a school that sends kids to Princeton. |

Even if I am correct? I am correct. You're wrong. Judging from your stubbornness and ignorance its fair to assume it wasn your offspring that got into Princeton. NOVA CC maybe?

Last year = 1992??? Like I said, dude, get back on your meds. And this year's class includes Yale. What's your deal? |

Apparently pp finds it deeply offensive that anyone might think TC Williams is anything other than a failing shithole full of people who are racist against white people. |

Weird thread.
No public school in the DC area other than TJ should expect to have kids attend Princeton every year. It's too selective for that. For a high school its size, the latest college admissions from TC Williams aren't too impressive, but they reflect the demographics of a city with a lot of poverty and many kids in private school. There are high schools that are 2/3 of TC's size in FCPS with less than 2/3 as many admissions to top schools. |

Raising the educational performance bar for ALL students in Alexandria CAN be done as proven recently in Louisiana in article below. Stay vigilant and vocal Alexandria City residents! Don't settle.
Charter schools’ progressive promise for the future of US education https://nypost.com/2018/07/04/charter-schools-progressive-promise-for-the-future-of-us-education/ By Emily Langhorne July 4, 2018 "...nearly 13 years ago, one of the effects of the Hurricane Katrina cataclysm was to largely wipe out the city’s abysmal public schools. New Orleans’ educational system was essentially rebuilt from the ground up as a laboratory for charter schools — not a school district with a few charters sprinkled among traditional institutions, but an almost wholly charter-filled system largely run by the state of Louisiana. The Recovery School District experiment proved successful; New Orleans public schools have improved faster than those of any other city in the nation over the past decade.
