[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]25 out of 99 got into UVA from Wakefield vs 41 out of 241 at Yorktown.  [/quote]

So a higher % of Wakefield students got in than Yorktown students? Or do I not know what to do math lol.

Nearly 25% of Wakefield students compared to 17% of Yorktown kids (out of those that applied) [/quote]

That’s one way to do math.  Another might be: Yorktown sends twice as many students do the state’s flagship university.  But you do your math![/quote]

How big are each graduating class? NP. [/quote]

Doesn't change which mathematical method one prefers. Nevertheless, WHS graduating class was 540+ last year. Don't know; but not too significantly  different this year.  The reality is, fewer WHS students are applying to a lot of the schools YHS/W-L students are applying to; and far more WHS students go on to NOVA. For many of those students, they are the first generation college students - of which there are far more at WHS than the other high schools. It's all quite logical. But YHS and WL parents like the other math that makes it look like their schools are just much better.
