Walls beat every private school in the DC—kudos to them!
And, for privates, Gonzaga bested NCS and SAAS.
What does this look like per capita?
Whittle 1/20 5%

JR/Wilson: 1/375 0.2%
Potomac: 9/115 7.8%
Potomac is in VA. VA's cutoff is 2 points lower than DC, so of course, Potomac has a high %.
VA's cutoff: 221; Maryland: 222; DC: 223
Being a NMF in DC is really hard to do because of all the great students. It doesn’t just require a little test prep or being good at test taking. You have to score above something like the 99.5%. Congrats to all the kids who got it!!
And it's a one time random test. It could be a bad day for you.
Pp here. I agree! I didn’t say it defined a student’s value to get or not get it. I said kudos to the kids who got it.

I know, memorizing vocab and standardized test prep classes are soooooo costly and time consuming.
Plus some colleges don’t care about merit or scores.
Well not a single college cares about a kid’s PSAT score
