[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks similar to the data from my public HS in the Midwest. I'm not that impressed.[/quote] Curious, what Midwest public school sends 55 kids to the Ivys and more than 1/3 of the class to top 25 colleges?[/quote] Not many. Most average, public, high schools, not located in the northeast or near affluent cities, send the majority of their graduates to local state schools and community colleges, assuming they are college-bound at all. I went to a no-name, public, high school in the south and did not know anyone who went to any Ivy, or anywhere remotely prestigious, [b]except for one girl who went to Oxford. She was from a very wealthy family. [/b] There's no question that these elite high schools have a significant advantage over average high schools.[/quote]\ Are you making this up? You do realize that going to Oxford University even now, is cheaper than most local state schools, right?[/quote]
