+1 I thought this was a pretty impressive list overall. A girl got into the Coast Guard academy! That’s awesome! |

This was another posting by Alexandria City/TC Williams HS on its class of 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpzXpbnhYFE Based on this and the Instagram post, they had students matriculate at Brown, Duke (4) Northwestern, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, W&M, UVA, VT, GWU, Notre Dame, NYU, Purdue, UCLA, UCB, UCSB, UCSD, MIT, Michigan, Georgia, Northeastern, W&L, UNC, Wake Forest, Rochester, Tulane, Texas, Middlebury, Wisconsin and Villanova. More NOVA and fewer OOS flagships than McLean, which is to be expected given the community. However, those are some pretty good schools! This is impressive! |

Underwhelming for a premier high school in one of the best school districts with all the legacies and athletic recruits.
Too many going to community colleges and GMUs and JMUs. Expected better. |

Not sure which school you're referring to here, but I think McLean's list based on the partial students responses is impressive, particularly given that pyramid sends so many kids to TJ. There are 14 kids reporting going to the Ivies, Stanford and MIT alone. My FCPS high school was considered above average for FCPS at the time (shortly before TJHSST had senior classes), and we only had three kids going to the Ivies, Stanford, and MIT. |

Here are the Langley Class of 2021 destinations. They've done videos the last few years, so there are also a lot of nice houses and cute dogs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za2jDJxvaKw |

If PP were referring to McLean, the criticism is not justified, since the number of GMU and JMU matriculants went down from 2020, and there were only 6 NOVA kids.
If PP were referring to TCW/Alexandria, the criticism is still not justified. The community is less well-off and has a large number of immigrants (more than McLean, which also has about 10%+ of the student population as immigrants), so of course NOVA and in-state Virginia schools would be more popular. I was impressed by the number of NOVA guaranteed transfer kids in this group, which shows foresightedness by the families. On athletic scholarships, TCW/Alexandria will have an edge but McLean still does relatively well. Finally, wealthier legacies in both catchments will be going to private schools. There are certainly more of them in Mclean than in Alexandria, but that should not diminish what the students at both schools have achieved. |

What in the hell is wrong with you? GMU and JMU are good schools. You don’t have many friends, do you. |

Administration just sent out an email with all graduation stats. I won’t post everything, but the Virginia schools are updated -
“ Top 5 VA 4-Year Public Universities: James Madison University (36), Virginia Tech (34), Virginia Commonwealth University (25), University of Virginia (24), George Mason University (23).” This is more official than the previous reporting. FYI. |

| I see 27 students going to top 25 school, that seems decent. |

| It’s gross and creepy how you are all judging these students based on college decisions. You do realize that a lot more goes into the decision besides prestige, right? And that a kid’s worth isn’t measured by their college? |

I didn't count, but it seems like quite a high number OOS and geographically dispersed. |

1 Harvard, 1 Yale, 0 princeton, 2 Stanford, 1 MIT is pretty good? |
