[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know much about Wakefield to comment on that school, but wealthy neighborhoods like Arlington Ridge are in the Wakefield boundary, and I doubt the ivy stats would be much lower than at other nearby schools. [/quote]

I suspect the Wakefield admissions to top schools are lower than W-L, TC or Stuart.  [/quote]

I can't find Yorktown or Stuart college acceptance statistics but McLean has four ivy league schools on a list for the class of 2012 that was published on Patch. So five or six students from McLean are ivy league bound. I suspect most local public schools send about 6 students each to the ivies every year. I don't see why Wakefield would be lower than that. TC sends higher numbers of students to ivy league schools than Fairfax or Arlington schools because Alexandria does not allow its students to attend TJ. [/quote]

McLean has at least six students attending Ivies and at least one who turned down an Ivy (Brown) to attend U.Va. I would be surprised if Wakefield or Stuart had as many, but not if TC, which had a much larger graduating class and is in a jurisdiction that does not allow its students to attend TH, had more.
