I don't know. All five Arlington high schools (including TJ) have impressive stats. They all seem to be going to expensive schools. Private and out of state public schools.

Although a very large number of students, as is typical, are going to VPI and UVA. Followed by W&M, JMU, VCU, and other state schools.

I do wonder how federal job losses in the area and new limits on student loans are changing where people apply/accept

I have been impressed by the results for all of the APS high schools this year.

HBW really stands out, about 20% of class goes to t30 schools, and only HYP admit out of APS I think.

I'm an HB parent, and I'm pretty blown away by these results. This is better than usual. The senior class was unusually strong this year.

TJ is even more impressive! I can't tell which kids are from Arlington and wouldn't ID them even if I did know. But still interesting to add t to the mix knowing some of these kids are Arlingtonians too.

The wrong WHS is linked unless we have a lot of kids going to state colleges in CT

Can some one share WHS insta, I can’t find it.

A lot of people care about outcomes from our public high schools. I guess you don't but many do, especially here in Arlington where our population is highly educated and hence value education for our offspring too.

Well private schools make a big deal of their admitted schools so as far as marketing the value of a school it’s an established metric. I guess maybe no one picks where they live on the quality of the high school?

What data are you expecting. They don’t publish matriculations, so Instagram is all we will likely get.

That's what I'm aware of at this point, that and word of mouth from parents at the schools
