[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still, it's notable that Churchill sends 77 students to Blair SMCS, while Whitman only sends 19.[/quote]

Look at all the programs, Whitman barely sends any to any. It isn’t that the kids don’t qualify as Whitman has the highest college placement and SAT scores in the county. People are just happy with the school. A few peal off and go to Blair but half of the programs are really just carrots to attract peer groups to middling schools that need infusions and protection bubbles for the small local populations of serious students. Whitman whole school is that peer group with few exceptions. It isn’t perfect but results don’t line.[/quote]

Whitman has a broad base of well-supported high performers, but not the cohort of excelling Asians.

They don't have to compete with Asian students for the top college spots.

More than likely, a large cohort of Whitman students come from family with money and connections. They don't have to worry about being in an advanced program.  They will use their family money and connections to get their kids into a great college.[/quote]

And many of them use their family money to get their kids into an elite private high school. Where you you think GDS and STA and NCS, and Bullis and all the rest families live? [/quote]
