Uniforms??


Most HSers probably don't take NMSQT qualifying PSAT. If you get the scholarship, there are conditions to the prize so not much appeal.

I am guessing you meant to say Mostly Asian names, without the quotes.


the word asian in quotes because don't know is they identify as asian. a certain last name but could be mixed or adopted, not necessarily "Asian"? Obama said he was black - black father but his mom was a woman who most would say was Caucasian.

Because both schools are better than whitman.


Because both schools selectively admit students with high test scores, who then get into lists of students with high test scores.

Congrats to all of the kids. These results mirror the ranking lists and test scores, so not surprised to see the Ws, Blair, Poolesville and Richard Montgomery well represented on this list.
