Which high schools send the most graduates to Franklin & Marshall College?
68 high schools publish a numbered matriculation list that names Franklin & Marshall College — 161 enrolled graduates between them. 10 publish a numbered list of college acceptances that names it — 30 admissions between them, counted at each college. Ranked per class year, in two separate lists, with each school's published total and its own years beside it.
Section 1 of 2
Enrolled (from schools' matriculation lists)
Where each school's graduates actually enrolled, as that school published it. One graduate, one college.
Showing the 25 schools with the largest per-class-year figures, of 68 whose matriculation lists name Franklin & Marshall College and carry a readable class-year window.
Section 2 of 2
Admitted (from schools' acceptance lists)
Where each school's graduates were admitted, as that school published it — a different document from the list above, and never added to it. Admits are counted at each college, so a student admitted to several colleges appears on each one's list, exactly as a student admitted to three UC campuses counts three times in the UC Reach Score.
How these lists are built
208 high schools publish a numbered matriculation list — where their graduates actually enrolled, counted, in the school's own School Profile or matriculation page. We read Franklin & Marshall College's row off each of those documents.
Enrolled
Ranked by graduates per class year enrolling at Franklin & Marshall College, from each school's own published list: the number that school printed, divided by the class years its list covers. The published total and the school's own years label are shown beside every school, so a one-year list and a five-year list can sit on the same page. A list whose class years we cannot read is not divided by a guess — it is listed below with its total instead.
18 high schools publish a numbered list of college acceptances — where their graduates were admitted — in the same kind of school-published document.
Admitted
Ranked by admissions per class year to Franklin & Marshall College, from each school's own published acceptances list: the number that school printed, divided by the class years its list covers. Admits are counted at each college a student was admitted to, the same way the UC Reach Score counts a student admitted to three UC campuses three times — so this is a count of admissions, not of students. The published total and the school's own years label are shown beside every school, and a list whose class years we cannot read is listed below with its total rather than divided by a guess.
Enrolled and admitted are two different published lists and are never mixed: an enrollment list counts the graduates who actually went to a college (one student, one college), while an acceptances list counts every college that admitted them — so a student admitted to three colleges appears three times, exactly as a student admitted to three UC campuses counts three times in the UC Reach Score.
Where a school labels its own columns, the window comes from the column the counts sit in — a list headed "the classes of 2021-2025" whose first column reads "Class of '25" is one class year, not five.
College names are matched exactly as each school printed them, against the federal name or a curated spelling. A name that could mean two colleges is left out rather than guessed, so a count here can be lower than the count on the school's own page.
Where one document printed two rows that both belong to Franklin & Marshall College — a conservatory inside the university, two campuses under one federal id — the larger published row is shown. Adding them would be arithmetic the school never did.
What absence means
A school that is not on this page did not publish a numbered matriculation list we could read — that is all absence means here. It is never a statement about a school's graduates. Lists of acceptances (where students were admitted, not where they enrolled) are never counted in this ranking: an acceptances list runs about three times an enrollment list, so counting the two together would compare different things. Those lists are ranked on their own, separately.
A school that is not on this page did not publish a numbered list of the colleges that admitted its graduates — that is all absence means here, and it is never a statement about a school's graduates. Many schools publish only where their graduates enrolled; those lists are ranked separately, because an acceptances list runs about three times an enrollment list and the two are never added together or ranked against each other.
