Congratulations to the aforementioned schools. Does anyone know of other high schools that have remarkable numbers of National Merit semifinalists for the high school class of 2012?

So the percentages for each school's graduating class are 35% (TJ), 14-16% (Stuy), and 18% (MSJ).
The next two schools (that I know of) are Hunter College HS (NY) with 69 out of ~180 (38%), and Harker School (CA) with 59 out of ~160 (37%).
Obligatory note: MSJ is the only one out of these which is public and open-enrollment (as opposed to private or specialized/magnet).
