[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at the SCHEV stats for UVA and LCPS for 2021. 1832 applied, 479 accepted and 275 attend. This out of 18 high schools. That comes to an average of about 26 accepted and 15 attend. I am the one that posted that my kids LCPS had less than 15 acceptances, they have about 10 who attend from that class. That was from Naviance when my kid gradated in 2021. Our school is not in one of the more  wealthy areas and is one of the smaller schools in the county. These stats are somewhat useless though because they are not broken down by school. Net net the only useful stat is that the acceptance rate for LCPS was 26%.  To compare, Fairfax acceptance rate is 32.4% for the same period.

I think folks that live in Fairfax are the ones saying "dozens get in" because guess what your schools are much bigger than LCPS by and large and well, looks like it has a higher acceptance rate as well. Can we please stop spouting off what we do not know to be true?[/quote]

Well, 26 percent being accepted is not “next to impossible.”   Also, the average Loudoun high school has 1000 few students than Fairfax so it’s not surprising that the numbers are lower.  Finally, that fewer are being admitted from your “poorer” Loudoun high school doesn’t mean it harder to get in from there - it just means that, for whatever reason, fewer are applying.

My point that it’s not as hard as people make it out to be still stands. [/quote]
