[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear so much about what a great school system Arlington has, but I was unpleasantly surprised when I checked out the college choices of a recent graduating class (Arlington Magazine maybe did this?). I went to a small private high school with a graduating class under 100 students and we had 8 national merit scholar semi finalists. Arlington with its huge numbers should be churning out more of these if they are really amazing, and should be doing better than party schools and community colleges for 70% of it's college bound graduates, really expensive liberal arts schools for another 20%, and the remaining 5% at top ~30 schools with great reputations. It's just weird that APS's rep does not at all seem to correspond with college placement for all but like 10 kids total. [/quote] Well, the really talented Arlington students go to TJ. Look how many National Merit semifinalists go to TJ. [/quote]
