[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's a bit broad. I know for sure Latin has. A senior this year accepted to Brown, and would venture that Wilson, Banneker and SWW have ivy league acceptances as well[/quote] Yes, but precious few. I used to interview Wilson, Banneker and SWW kids for my Ivy as an alum volunteer, did it for over a decade then burned out. Never saw a kid admitted and must have interviewed two dozen from the several DCPS programs. Around half the kids from TJ and Blair MoCo magnets I interveiw get in and these are the same sort of 17 and 18 year olds, some low-SES, some high-SES, different races, all bright, very hardworking. The DCPS parents love to kid themselves that their kids' applications are stellar, rarely the case. Not offering much challenge or push for advanced learners at the ES and MS levels in DCPS until very recently, and not having HS school cultures in which Ivy League admissions are emphasized, still takes a toll.
