[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus, how obtuse are you people? Consider what most kids in DC do.

FWIW, I had terrific scores and grades and I went to a school in that same range as those listed above because it is where I got the best scholarship. In my HS, which was probably similar to Latin, my acceptance into that school and scholarships (as well as those of others like me) was a source of pride for the teachers.

Maybe it seems unsophisticated now, but for the first person in a family going to college it is a big deal.  [/quote]

A valid point.  But for those of us in a different demographic (ie, high income, not the first in our family to attend college), this is a disappointing list.[/quote]

At a public city-wide school, the list of where every student in a HS who went to college should mean nothing for any kid who is capable of going to a Harvard or (gag at this phrase) flagship state school on their own merits.

The only reason to be disappointed is snobbery and I'm horrified that someone would think Latin should refrain from publicizing this.[/quote]
