It's not a particularly meaningful list. If you don't have a lot of students applying to the 3 specific schools (Harvard, Princeton, and MIT), you aren't going to have a very significant percentage of seniors accepted into Harvard, Princeton, and MIT. 1. There are many, many, many other top-tier and high quality, prestigious schools across the country. Many Wakefield graduates attend them. 2. Wakefield may not have as many students applying to these schools because they come from much more limited economic means and these types of schools are not as feasible to those students financially, socio-emotionally, or culturally. Many Latino students (the largest student group of Wakefield student body) for example, would be first-generation college students and therefore do not have the familiarity and knowledge and support they need to pursue such schools, or even 4 year college. As a high-achieving middle class white student, I never even considered applying to any Ivy League school or any other school whose listed tuition was clearly out of reach for me. I applied to a few less costly private schools that were likely unaffordable; but not absolutely no-hope-unaffordable. [/quote]
