[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usually kids from wealthier households, with engaged parents, do well in college admissions, no matter the high school. [/quote] Higher income/wealth correlates with the catchment areas for McLean, Langley, and Oakton (and N. Arlington). [/quote] Agree, but there are also pockets of UMC households scattered around in other pyramids. Students from these families also tend to do well, despite attending a lower rated high school. On top of that, they usually have an easier time leading clubs, getting leads in plays and making athletic teams. These schools may not offer all the AP courses, but that usually doesn’t limit them in the admissions game. [/quote]
