[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it will be easier to get into colleges coming from Wakefield, than some of the other schools and areas mentioned here. [/quote]

Doubt it, as the culture there doesn’t position the kids to be equally strong candidates for admission.[/quote]

Not from I have seen.[/quote]

Then tell us about all the scholars coming out of Wakefield. For example, how many National Merit Semifinalists have there been at Wakefield the past five years? How strong is the Model UN program? What robotics teams or student publications have won national awards?  The statistics on college admissions published in Arlington Magazine consistently fail to impress. [/quote]
Yet they will have graduates that surpass kids from the “good” schools. Hard to accept, but it happens. No guarantees. Going to Yorktown doesn’t necessarily pay off. Often you just end up with an entitled kid with a drinking problem.[/quote]

You didn’t answer the question. The best graduates generally are not coming out of Wakefield.[/quote]

NP.  This post directly above mine is very telling about its author’s thought process and values: Wakefield’s graduates are not the best.  Tell us, PP, what makes a “best graduate?” On second thought, please don’t.[/quote]
