[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh. Most families zoned to Yorktown would agree the top kids from middle school end up disproportionately at WL. Not all of course. Some of Yorktown’s success in college apps is academic and some is (far more than WL) athletics. Look at signing day details for YHS. Athletic recruits to top schools.  The 3 high schools have very different flavors. [/quote]

Nonsense.  You can see where the athletes sign.  It’s not MIT.  I know these kids are they are equally distributed.  To say the smart ones are going to W&L is a bunch of utter BS.  [/quote]

Smart ones are going private. [/quote]

I do t have the info in front of me but I thought there were several athletic recruits to ivies and top 25 schools at YHS. Maybe I’m wrong. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think athletic recruits are the standard. But there are more from YHS than the other schools. And at better schools.  [/quote]

The PP cited MIT because 2023 [b]athletic[/b] recruits from W&L — not YHS — are going to MIT & Georgetown.  These kids, I am sure, are hella qualified and probably smarter than other admits.  But, bottom  line: your argument that athletic recruits are what is making up the admits to “smart” schools from YHS is dumb and wrong.  Just like your argument that all the smart YHS kids are going to W&L.

My point is, and always has been, the two schools BOTH have some very bright, very motivate me kids.  And this argument is so fun because these kids make up a tiny portion of the class.

I think what you really want to say is: Yorktown is whiter than W&L and somehow that makes is intrinsically worse.  [/quote]
