If you look a the list, anybody with asterisks next to their name was nominated for something other than their SAT score.

Looks like 2 of the Paul Charter school kids were nominated on this basis.

Walls had the most overall but BASIS had by far the most per capita. Paul, a school no one talks about here, also did well.

Walls 12/150
Basis 9/45
J-R 7/500
Paul 5/110
Latin 4/95
DCI 4/200
Banneker 2/170

My kid is on this list! But um, what does it mean?


That they had near-perfect standardized test scores or special achievement in tech or the arts.


I'm PP, and my kid had a pretty strong but not perfect SAT score (1550). Now that they've gotten the email explaining it, they need to decide whether to apply. I'm encouraging it.
