Are we looking at the same list OP? Look at the photo of this years graduating class OP. These are AWESOME kids. Look at the schools accepted since 2012 - 134 graduates: AU, Bard, Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, Carnegie Mellon, Will and Mary,Middlebury, Grinnell, Mount Holyoke, Howard, Occidental, Brown, Wesleyan, Haverford. Those aren't kids with straight As and perfect SATs. I can say that, because I've known a lot of them. They are kids who got  a real education, found passions, named dreams. Does it skew small liberal arts? Yes. Im sure there are some Latin students rising who want to hit MIT or Stanford. No one will stop them and they will be massively encouraged. But I can say for.many of the kids I've known so far who love Latin, Arabic, history, math - well rounded, curious, a place like Middlebury is sounding like a pretty amazing undergrad fit. The goal.is they be successful and happy this next step; if so, who knows where they could go to grad school.if they choose?
You know who Im equally proud of? Prince Georges Community College. Its pretty shabby to cherry pick these schools, when what matters is kids achieving a personal best. I'm pretty sure that, as PP said, some.Latin kids go far beyond and will go far beyond what they would have been able to at some.other DC learning environments. I hope they go far beyond you and me. I know that at Latin they got great mentoring, love and an excellent foundation. To the graduating class -. Congratulations - go far, and remember where you came from - a place of love and learning.[/quote]
