What data are you expecting. They don’t publish matriculations, so Instagram is all we will likely get.

Arlington magazine post data available from each school, but it won’t be until over the summer. Of course it is self reported information but better than what you’re getting from Instagram.

No, it posts ACCEPTANCE data. It does not post matriculation data. Why? Because APS doesn’t track matriculation data. They have 55 people doing curriculum review and calendar revisions and DEI and feeding the community and not a single person tracks college outcomes. So Arlington magazine has no way to track this. No one has a freaking clue whether there are more or less matriculations to UVA this year (well, except UVA). You will absolutely see the acceptance data and that’s hovered at 10% of the class for W&L and YHS for years.

You're a flaming weirdo. What's the school system gonna do, put guns to the graduates' heads? They can't force graduates to share where they matriculated. Besides, it's acceptances that count.

HBW really stands out, about 20% of class goes to t30 schools, and only HYP admit out of APS I think.

Think again. A Yorktown kid is going to Yale.

W-L has 12 Ivy+ (7 Ivies plus 2 Duke, 2 Chicago and an MIT), plus two Georgetowns, a Vandy, several NYUs and Michigans -- and 27 UVAs.

HB does not "stand out" at all.

For football!!!

So what.

Who said anything about force? What are you talking about? No one in APS even asks. They don’t follow up. You know why? APS doesn’t care. Not interested a lick.

Sure, I agree acceptances count. EXCEPT, you have zero insight into what those acceptances mean when kid 1 is a superstar and gets into Harvard and Northwestern and Cornell and UVA and Michigan. Is it one kid with five acceptances or five kids with five high end results? The data becomes pretty meaningless without matriculation.

You are wrong. APS does ask seniors to record their college decision in School Links. They can't force them, but they definitely direct them to do it.

So yes, APS does collect this data. I hope you will retract your wild rant about DEI now. But you won't.

Doesn’t every school request the final grades from senior year, so wouldn’t APS have a request from every matriculation?

Are you sure all schools are actually doing this? Who in APS is responding? Are they keeping any sort of information about this?

When I asked my APS HS guidance counselor, they said: we do not have any matriculation data. So even if they could in theory have it, they don’t actually use or try to be aware of it—much less share it.

In the past APS occasionally published some of this data for the high school orientation slide shows, since parents had questions about where students were headed to college.

Not W&L or YHS in the last five years. And I’ve been told by my kids guidance counselor at one of the two that the school has no ability to track matriculation and doesn’t do it. Friends have confirmed the same is true at the other school. Maybe Wakefield has a super secret stellar counseling service.

The instagram pages are hardly everyone. The Wakefield page has about 130 students posted. How many seniors are graduating? 450 or so?

So yeah, these are snapshots of the kids who are excited and sent their info the account owner.

My son graduated from WL a few years ago and the main ask about where he was going was in some communications about the senior end of year stuff. The kids' college destinations were printed in the senior newspaper - only distributed in print to seniors. It had far more destination info than the Instagram. DS and his friends didn't share on the Instagram decisions but did for the paper. I know they did the same paper the next year so I assume it's a standard thing.

So, they have the data, they just choose to not share it.
