Mind you, this is where they actually went. Kids get into schools hoping for financial aid packages that may not work out, or they get a full ride to a less prestigious school and take it (smart move).
67 seniors with straight As? Jesus.
67 seniors with straight As....but only about 12 to 14 seniors went to elite schools (Ivy + UNC, Berkely, Stanford, G'town and similar)
So going to Wilson to earn higher grades doesn't directly translate into elite school acceptance. There must be more
it's not 67 seniors with straigh A's - its 67 seniors with more than a 4.0. If you are taking AP classes and your GPA will always read higher. It does not mean they all 67 had straight A's. Someone posted earlier for 2015 and 2016 9 Wilson students enrolled in Ivy League schools (MIT+ Stanford) this [/b]does not[b] include other schools like G'town. Michigan etc. As stated earlier - use Naviance to see the real stats.
As stated earlier, the "real" stats on Naviance rely heavily on self-reporting on the part of students.

"Went to" is key. Many top students got accepted to top schools but opted for another school with scholarships. How pathetic are you moco people that you can't let it go? Do you ever see DC parents stalking MD school threads? You guys lead a sad, miserable suburban life.

Proof?
open the link... for example: Yale. BCC 33 applied, 3 accepted; Wooton 19 applied, 0 accepted; WJ 16 applied, 0 accepted; Whitman 26 applied, 0 accepted; Churchill 22 applied, 2 accepted... etc.
Sorry I did not make my question more clear. I see that the link provides data on MoCo schools. I'm looking for the proof of what Wilson's numbers are.

OMG, google people... and lack of situational awareness for your community...
Whitman, around 1,977 kids (around 500 per class) <5% FARMS; WJ more than 2,200 kids (around 550 per class); 7% FARMS
As all the inner burbs - a little bigger, much smaller FARMS & lower Black/Hispanic, higher Asian.
Wilson 1791 class size, 27% FAMRS (447ish per class)
So to people's points above, hypothetical #s - if around 75% of Wilson kids are college bound (around 335 per class), that means that pool of kids at Wilson are generally 'competing' with fewer total kids as the MoCo, Arlington Co -- usually with similar parent's social capital, SES levels. As IB %s grow - the number of college bound expected to go up.

Walter Johnson (12 total) Brown 0; Columbia 1; Cornell 7; Dartmouth 1; Harvard 2; Yale 0; Penn 0: Stanford 1; MIT 0
Whitman (34 total) Brown 4; Columbia 3: Cornell 15; Dartmouth: 2; Harvard 1; Yale 0; Penn 3; Stanford 3; MIT 3
And how many acceptances at Wilson? Also add class size and farm rate for each school.

Would help to add the size of the senior classes at these schools - I'm guessing they are larger than Wilson's? But IDK for sure.

For 2015 and 2016, about 9 Wilson students enrolled in Ivy League schools (plus Stanford and MIT).

There's a difference between enrolling and being accepted.
