<p>Hook? Really strong math program. The AP level hasn't had below a 5 for a very long time. My grades may not show I am strong in math but I have had the same grade (4pt drop) since 8th grade algebra to my present 12th grade calculus.
Also, w/o exaggerating, I am graduating from what is probably THE strongest class my HS has ever graduated. If I were a grade above/below me, I would be ranked top4 out of 200.</p>
