[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just stumbled upon this list of the class of 2014's college choices and thought it looked pretty darn good.  What do others think?  Out of a graduating class of 83 students:

7 are attending UVA
6 are attending William and Mary
6 are attending Virginia Tech

And one is attending each of the following schools:

Harvard
Yale
Chicago
Johns Hopkins
Duke
Carnegie Mellon 
Pomona
Wesleyan
Grinnell
Carleton
Macalaster
Bates  
Reed
NYU
Brandeis
Boston U
Bucknell
Lafayette

Impressively not impressive.

Show me something more impressive outside of TJ and the top half-dozen or so privates in the area.  Otherwise, your snarky post means nothing. [/quote]

So that's maybe 10-15 going to top schools?

My non-magnet, public HS in NJ typically graduates 200-250 people a year and has easily has 30+ going to top schools. At least 10-15 Ivy. And there is a nearly public HS that typically does even better. Our school was good, but not super amazing.

Seems like VA high schools just don't place well overall. Outside TJ. Weird.
