| There is usually a thread around this time of year about college acceptances for Wilson's graduating seniors. Did I miss it? |

Or 2-3 outstanding students could have gotten these results. |

| Believe me, 2-3 outstanding students who got outside help from college counselors, either from non-profits or private college coaches. Wilson now has 1 college counselor for a junior class of 560 and 2 for a senior class of 540, which stinks. |

| Isn't that fully expected for a class of students over 500? |

LOL at all of you sad people trying to downplay the Wilson kids' achievements.
Why are you all acting as if it somehow reflects badly on you that lots of Wilson kids are smart and high achievers? |

| They always get into some good schools. The issue is when they feel out-matched by peers who have attended far more rigorous public and private schools. It is a rude awakening for many. |
