2020 National Merit Semifinalists from Clark County schools (Seattle, Spokane: homes, high schools)

[texasdiver]

Today's Seattle Times put out the list of National Merit Semifinalists by school. The great majority were from the wealthy suburbs of Puget Sound but I count 10 from Clark County. Five from Camas HS and five from the rest of the County: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle...ain-tops-list/

At first glance I came up with the following counts

Camas HS - 5
Columbia River HS - 3
Union HS - 1
Mountain View HS - 1

The other 20 or so public and private high schools in the county - 0



I can't find any 2020 info for Oregon. Apparently the Oregonian is slacking off.

Washington students named National Merit Scholarship semifinalists; Seattle’s Lakeside once again tops list

For the second year in a row, the private Lakeside School in North Seattle had more National Merit Scholarship program semifinalists — three dozen — than any other Washington high school.
Interlake High School in Bellevue followed in second with 31 semifinalists, and Sammamish’s Skyline High in third, with 21 semifinalists.
The state’s semifinalists, along with about 16,000 others across the nation, had the highest scores on the 2018 PSAT taken by 1.5 million juniors this past year. About 90 percent of those students will be named finalists in February. To qualify, each student and their high school must submit an application that includes academic transcripts, an essay and a letter of recommendation. About half the finalists are awarded Merit Scholarships worth about $31 million in total.
The list of semifinalists was released last week. Here are Washington’s semifinalists, by city:
