[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over the years I've seen posters comment on how college admissions for APS students are sub-part compared to their peer schools around here, and, to the extent it's true, I'm curious to know what people think the cause is (I'm not the person who asked in the other thread about what PTAs can do, but they did make me think to start this thread). Hopefully this can be a constructive, respectful conversation and not a bunch of trolling. Do you believe APS students aren't doing as well as kids at other schools (other than something like TJ, that's not a peer school to any standard public high school) in terms of college admissions, and if so, what's your perception of why? Are school offerings lacking? Different demographics leading to different results? Something else?[/quote]

Speaking of this, has anyone heard how Arlington Public Schools' seniors are faring in the early decision (ED) process?  Any Ivies?  MIT?  Stanford?  Duke?  Chicago?[/quote]

Why do you care?[/quote]

We have kids in APS in 5th, 7th and 9th grade and just trying to get a feel for their prospects in a few years. [/quote]
