Whitman HS - Class of 2019 College Destinations

[Anonymous]

Another comparable public? Palo Alto High School in California. In the shadow of Stanford (profs' kids, venture capitalist families, tech millionaires). Kids do well from there. This is the list from 2014-2017, no info on this year's grads. But you can imagine it's similar:

Nice comp for Whitman.

It appears Whitman's numbers are better than McLean or Langley's.

Polaris proved it.

They would beat all top FCPS schools except TJ. Because the top 450 kids from Langley, McLean, etc. are at TJ.

And a lot of kids zoned for Whitman are at private schools. In my neighborhood at least 40% of the kids go to private school - including the top ones.

New Trier in the Chicago area. I count 28 Ivies, 18 Northwestern, 7 to UChicago, 1 to Duke, 3 to Vandy, 29 to U of Michigan, 3 to MIT, 1 to Williams, 3 to Amherst, 2 to Middlebury, 5 to Georgetown, and 4 to Notre Dame.

This is a class of about 600.

The W schools lose kids to Blair.

Things have changed dramatically from 2017— Let’s see New Trier results for this year.

Ok, I have too much time on my hands. This page lists the kids names. I googled them. The Ivys are 95% Athletic recruits.

Cornell rowing
cornell cross country
princeton volleyball
princeton rowing
cornell rowing
cornell swimming
MIT swimming
yale rowing
MIT rowing
dartmouth soccer
cornell rowing
penn rowing
cornell rowing
harvard swimming

These are just the first Ivy kids I across on the list (I stopped after awhile). ALL ARE STATE OR REGIONAL level athletic recruits.

Oh and the only non-athletic recruits I came across were:
-A Kennedy family member to Harvard
-2 nationally successful science kids (national science olympiad types--doing graduate level research at Northwestern in high school)---one to Harvard, one to Yale.

Dayum. I wonder if someone can run a similar review on Whitman's Ivy bound students. I don't doubt that they would be very bright and capable kids, but wow, 95% are recruited athletes?

This has been confirmed time after time. After legacies, being a recruited athlete is the strongest hook. And being a legacy who is also a recruited athlete is the strongest of all.

I haven't looked at this year's class but the Ivy bound kids in my DCs Whitman class were generally not athletic recruits.

This year 99% ivy bound Whitman kids are legacies. Not sure if it applies to previous years

This is soooo similar to the college scam ...except Lori was exceptionally stupid not to plead guilty.

The fact that people are genuinely trying to find other public schools in the country with stats as good as, or better than, Whitman's says a lot about Whitman's college destination list this year. FWIW, I live in NoVa (so not a MoCo booster) and I offer nothing but sincere congratulations to the fine kids at Whitman.

If nothing else, this proves that there is real value in learning how to row.
