Shorter PP: Plus the white students at my kid's school actually DESERVED to get in, unlike those black/Hispanic students at the other school.

Lovely.

Thought kids from places with warm weather and lots of natural resources don't usually do well in school since they mostly have what they need.

Well, whoop de doo. My child's public school graduating class has 211 students, and here is where they are going (not where they were accepted, which is a larger list):

U. Of California, Berkeley
Carnegie Mellon
Columbia
Cornell
Duke
Harvard
M.I.T.
U. of Michigan
Northwestern
U. of Pennsylvania
Princeton
Stanford
Yale

They are also going to Georgetown, UVA, Notre Dame, and many other excellent schools.

Wow, posters. This is indeed impressive and a deep bench. Jealous much.

Sorry that your investment in a 35k school per year is a bunch of bunk?

I like how the tuition, about a third lower than DC privates, goes up a few hundred bucks each year. They'd probably bring in more if they charged the terminal higher rate for LS and US. Just saying. I think from a consumer standpoint they wouldn't get pushback.

Indeed, they even spelled one of their top student's names wrong! Christie Ramsaran. Way to rep your school, AHS!

The college grad placements look completely fake and no school does this by the way. I wonder who is behind this and why.

This website is not fake but may need some work though.

How does it stack up against DC's top schools? Good return on the dollar.

They have 355 seniors - and only 77 are Nationally Recognized?

They are going pretty deep in the category of "Nationally Recognized" - they call out National Merit Semifinalists and Commended Scholars - but not one finalist.

This school - although impressive for Florida does not compare with the elite schools in DC.

That info was for the Class of 2012. You'd think the staff of such a hot shot school would have figured out the actual matriculations by now more than a year later. Alternatively, maybe the Class of 2013 matriculations would be nice to post.

who gives a shit about some podunk school in florida?

This is impressive....77 nationally recognized students in the class of 2013 - 65 million in college scholarships for 2013. A lot of ivies...
