[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But we were talking about raw numbers of matriculants. Why do DC area public schools, with lots of legacies and upper class families, not have more students attending Harvard?[/quote] What are you talking about? “Of all schools that have sent students to Harvard, one in 11 students has come from just 21 high schools across the United States." From the DMV area, only the Thomas Jefferson magnet is among the 21 top schools. Sorry Sidwell, GDS and Cathedral schools. Sometimes merit beats out money. [/quote] Doesn’t TJ have like 500 students per grade? Of course a top magnet with that many students will send more kids to elite colleges than schools with 80-150 students. [/quote]
