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

Arlington magazine post data available from each school, but it won’t be until over the summer. Of course it is self reported information but better than what you’re getting from Instagram.

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

Think again. A Yorktown kid is going to Yale.

W-L has 12 Ivy+ (7 Ivies plus 2 Duke, 2 Chicago and an MIT), plus two Georgetowns, a Vandy, several NYUs and Michigans -- and 27 UVAs.

HB does not "stand out" at all.

For football!!!

HBW had 2% go Ivy, WL had 2% go Ivy+.

Pretty impressive.

Another poster singled out HB as the "winner." I disagree. It has one attending MIT and another attending Yale, but that's it. Obviously it's a much smaller school, but adjusting for size it's not ahead.

Keep all of this in mind when you see next year's silly Arlington Magazine. I don't recall it ever reporting more than a handful of grads from each school attending Ivy+ schools. The data there is clearly inaccurate.

Depends what your measure is and on that people will never agree. The other poster was considering top 30. You’re just looking at Ivies and a few other universities. Neither of you considered top LACs.

Nah. Not including the Ivy+, for example, I just went back and counted more than 40 other YHS grads attending top 30 colleges. And that's not including William & Mary or Tech, and not including LACs like Haverford or Colgate or the two going to the Naval Academy. Also not including Tulane, Northeastern or Emory. There are lots of impressive schools.

Yes there are a couple of HB grads going to top LACs and good for them. But an HB grad is more likely to choose an LAC than a neighborhood school grad. It doesn't tell us much.

Even with only 2 Ivy level admits, HBW is far above the neighborhood percentages.

As a percentage of class size, HBW is leagues ahead with Ivy+ and SLAC;

I won't name the school, but several of DC's friends this year got into Ivy's and chose to attend elsewhere because of the cost. These are really smart kids who had hoped for more financial aid than they received.

Even the non-IB W-L kids are getting into impressive Ivy League, publics, etc. Excellent around for W-L this year.

There are 7 Ivy admits: 2 Cornell, 2 Dartmouth, 2 UPenn, and 1 Brown.

Do you mean non IB diploma and they took the AP IB approach? A few are recruited so maybe some of them could just do intensified?

Those are matriculations, not admits.

Fair. So are you a guidance counselor because getting that level of detail is basically impossible. Or are you some super invested parent tracking your child’s classmates admits?
