[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I'll take the top 10% of ACHS college placement ANYDAY over the top 10% of any other HS in Arlington. It's not even close.

If your kid is normal and from a decent family they will crush it at AC. If your kid is damaged and you don't have the funds to deal with it, well, youre screwed everywhere.[/quote]

is this what ACPS parents tell themselves to make you feel better? This is not true at all. Look at the instagram college feeds from APS high schools. Ivies, MIT, top SLACs - how can you do better than that? [/quote]

[b]ACHS grads crush Arlington grads and everyone knows this.[/b]That's the entire point that makes Arlington families so angry, that and their racist tendencies.

Go look at ACHSdecisions26 and try to claim it's worse than any of the WL, Yorktown feeds. Hint- it's not. It's leagues above.

Noe ask yourself why that bothers you so much.[/quote]

Not the PP. They don’t know the bolded because it isn’t true.

Here are the destinations for ACHS class of 25 (page 11): https://alextimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/5.29.25-Layout-C.pdf

Here is the same for Yorktown, though this looks like an incomplete list (there are some people on the Instagram page not included in this list at a quick glance): https://yorktownsentry.com/16953/galleries/the-senior-issue-graduation-2025/

ACHS had 984 total grads. Yorktown had 641. Of the top 20 colleges using USNWR, ACHS had kids going to 7 of them. Yorktown had kids going to 6 of them, despite the class being a third smaller and not even having the full list. ACHS is not “crushing” or being “leagues above” anything. And I say this as an Alexandria parent who really wishes it were true.

The one area it probably excels is as a feeder to UVA, as it is easier to be toward the top at ACHS and UVA seems to limit how many kids they take from each school.

Tell me you don't work in statistics without telling me you don't work in statistics. Please God don't tell me you work in polling..... or admit that you do and really work in proving bias.

"incomplete list"

"of the top 20 that use USNWR"

Butttttttt, you still want to use the data to claim that APS is better when the data you supplied showed the actual opposite. [i]But there are reasons!!![/i]

Look, lady, IDGAF at this stage in the game (in terms of a pissing match) because TC/AC put my two oldest in top 20 schools and my youngest just got ED to UVA, but if you see some utility in trying to convince me they would have done better at... Wakefield.... keep pissing in the wind.[/quote]
