Gonzaga?

So, NCS stands out for DC result. JR underperforms given its overall class size. Washington Latin also punched above its weight. Maret was lackluster. St. Anselm's was very respectable. GDS and Sidwell were as expected.

Holton Arms wow!

Public schools are just as impressive. These numbers aren’t great.

For Holton Arms, it’s 12 percent of graduating class. Don’t know about the other schools.

Holton is doing well this year!

Yes, last year they had 5 semifinalists. To go to 12 this year is quite a jump!

This year is definitely an exception. The usual number for Holton is 4-5 per year.
