[quote=Anonymous][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.

Sorry this past year it had 300 graduates but it was 8 for 8 on Ivy League enrollment plus MIT, Berkeley, Northwestern, Duke, etc.

15 NM finalists
1834 average SAT

But HB Woodlawn kids take way more AP tests. Almost 2x more if I read #s correctly.

It sounds like a great school - don't get me wrong - but the matriculation data isn't so that great for a "good" school. Same for Yorktown, Langley, McLean. It's bizarre.
