[quote=Anonymous]Setting aside the stuff you can find on the admissions website, it's the most elite high school in the city (not counting Pasadena, which has Poly and Flintridge Prep, and other areas like Palos Verdes, the Valley and OC). It's elite for everything: academics and sports. As pp says, entry points are 7 and 9. Only small numbers of kids are admitted in non-entry years. The most recent admissions director left this year, and they have an interim person there now. They are wonderfully transparent about their college placement stats: It's not like HW has materially better placement outcomes than the local public schools like Pali and Santa Monica HS, and may even do worse with the UCs. But the rigor is there, and it's filled with driven, talented kids, and it's an exciting place because of that.[/quote]
