Lee's accomplishment, however, remains one of the most celebrated in the academy’s history.

None of them. Presidents Grant and Eisenhower went to West Point, and Carter went to Annapolis, but no US President attended or graduated from the Air Force Academy. Keep in mind that the school has only been around since 1954, so any President before Clinton would have been too old to attend.
Union General Erasmus Darwin Keyes graduated from West Point in 1832. His graduating class of cadets numbered forty-five. Keyes ranked tenth in his class. Keyes saw extensive action in battles in the Eastern Theater. He ran into "military" tactics problems and retried early in 1864 to avoid any problems with the Union high command.
Between 1802, when President Thomas Jefferson founded West Point, demerits were a common problem for many West Point Students. From 1802 until 1829, only Robert E. Lee never received a demerit. Demerits were handed out at West Point by the administrators for any number of offenses.These ranged from not cleaning their rifles to being late for chapel on Sundays. Lee was a perfect student and graduated second in his class of 1829. As an aside, cadet Joseph Johnston was a classmate of Lee. Later, of course, Lee would command Johnston and many other West Point graduates in the US Civil War.
