a little off the wall here but we all know the difficulty in gaining admission to an academy. There are of course many variables such as competitive district, etc. But I was wondering about school success stories. For example, the small Catholic grade school in Illinois that my DS graduated from now has 2 attending West Point and one in the Naval Academy at the same time. One is a Firstie at WP, the other is a Jr at Navy, and DS is a plebe at WP.
The school has only about 24 kids per graduating class so out of a 4 year pool of about 100 kids. 3 made it into academies! That seems extraordinary to me but I suspect there are other schools as well with similar success stories. I am not sure how to really quantify the odds of that but just curious?
I know some families have had 2-3 kids in simultaneously at a time which also strikes me as pretty rare
