Agree.  I doubt there is any other public school that has similar numbers.  Perhaps Sidwell or the Cathedral schools[/quote]

At the elite DC area independent schools, about 40% of their graduates attend an Ivy+ college.  TJHSST is about 15%. Different financial circumstances plus a few recruited athletes make up some of the difference, but certainly not all.  I think the biggest difference is that the private schools have strong students in the arts, humanities, and social sciences rather than 450 students competing for the same few spots in a narrow number of likely tech majors.[/quote]
