In A Different Class

My daughter has been looking into going to University Laboratory High School. Does anyone know the SSAT percentile that a 7th grader would need to get into the sub-freshman class at Uni High?? It's the lower level SSAT test that they want for people entering the sub-freshman(middle schools 7th/8th) year.

I live in hawaii also and none of Hawaii public schools would be evened considered for this list. Okay maybe if the topic was uneducated, stupid and apathetic we would come in first. Or if you want to learn to make straw hats or crystal ice this is the place to come. The mentality here for education is low on th elist of priorities. The private schools are good but at a cost and the alot of the kids are snobs with elitist attitudes or Asians that are very pushy and competitive.with parents that are the same . I am moving due to the mentality of this state and its public school education stinks.I had a private school teacher tell me in my daughters 3rd grade childs class, don't worry about his spelling they have spellcheck. Give me a break. The schools look like concentration camps and pathetic. Its total chaos. The support of the community is pathetic, alot of parents are just as uneducated and really do not care what happens to kids and education. I call it Paradise Ghetto mentality. People here just want to buy tattos and big gold bracelets and live off welfare. Thats it. They call it the Aloha state but there is alot of Racism here and its no surprise President Obama never came back to work here. i will say its very beautiful here and the weather is close to perfect but local mentality is to grumble when its still really nice. THey just don't know ow good they have it..

We live in Hawaii, where the President is from. Why was our state not considered part of the United States?

This is the second year that TAMS (texas academy of mathematics and science) has been missing . . has the list gotten smaller?

Seeing as how the University of North Texas is a college and all TAMS classes are actual college courses . . I can't see a reason why it was taken off of the list.

This also means that all of the faculty has doctoral degrees . . . seeing as how the classes are actual university courses.

Not to mention the requirement for an entrance exam and SAT scores prior to 10th grade being required for admittance.

At the school among other things a cumulative GPA of above a 3.0 (college 4.0 scale) must be maintained.

All students must also complete calculus 2 prior to graduation and most proceed far beyond past linear algebra and number theory courses while in their 12th grade year.

Oh and also since newsweek seems to praise Thomas Jeffersons Westinghouse and goldwater research scholars

maybe they should research the winner . . . this past year

how's this for elitism in reverse! you're good, you're good, you're good, sorry, you're too good.,

Let's hear it for the public elites! My daughther graduated from the LA School in 1988 and she more than held her own in top universities afterwards.

My nephew attends the International Academy in Bloomfield Hills,Michigan, which is #22 on your main list. I don't know their SAT/ACT score averages, but he had to pass a test to get in (and then get his name pulled in a lottery), he has an extended school day and an extended school year.
