I understand where Pierre is coming from. Our high school also seems to have kids with lower stats than other high schools being admitted to colleges when you compare head to head or by looking at other Naviances. Yes, I live in a wealthy town with educated parents, but I'm comparing this with other high schools around my state and in neighboring state where I would consider the population to be similar. The only thing that may be different is that last year, 100 percent of our graduating class went to college. But other schools in the area might still have 99 percent, etc. We're a blue ribbon and silver medal high school, but so are a bunch of others.
And even if it is true that my town has higher achieving kids, how would a college know that? I just can't imagine that they can keep track of every high school around.
