COLLEGE

BOUND
Where Arlington high school graduates applied
to college and where they were accepted.
The following is a list of the colleges and universities where Arlington Public Schools (APS) high school
graduates (Class of 2019) applied and where they were accepted. Data are provided for H-B Woodlawn
Secondary Program, Wakefield High School, Washington-Liberty High School and Yorktown High
School. Given that the acceptance information was “self-reported” by the graduates, school officials
stress that they cannot verify its accuracy. The data reflect completed applications only. For brevity’s
sake, we limited the list to colleges and universities with at least five applicants from the combined
high schools. McLean High School (Fairfax County Public Schools) and George Mason High School
(Falls Church City Public Schools) did not respond to requests for data.
