[quote=Anonymous]Other than a school like Blair sending all those kids to MIT (that's really an incredible stat; I assume TJ has crazy stats but they have far more students), I don't think there are really feeder public high schools. It's more that every year each top school will accept several kids from each of like 20-30 public high schools in the DMV, and those kids do well, so the school is comfortable accepting several kids year after year. I do think if say you apply to Harvard from Bladensburg High, it's a tough lift for the Harvard AO to have to spend a ton of time figuring out if a top student from Bladensburg is really a "top" student considering many years not a single student will apply to Harvard, while they know a Whitman top student is a top student in general.[/quote]
