<p>Is my school competitive:</p>
<p>Medical Magnet School</p>
<p>200 in Senior Class</p>
<p>Texas National Exemplary School school for 9 years</p>
<p>Top 500 High Schools in the Nation</p>
<p>1129 Average SAT score</p>
<p>24.1 Average ACT score</p>
<p>3 NMF Finalists
3 Semifinalists
13 National Commended
7 National Hispanic Scholars</p>
<p>75% go to a 4-year university</p>
<p>yes it is on the competitive side but what are we comparing against? if you're comparing against some of the top high schools or boarding schools in the nation, then no, your school isn't that competitive. if you're comparing against the average public school, then yes, your school is quite competitive.</p>

<p>I'd say it's just slightly above average.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree... compared to other magnet schools like Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Tech in Northern VA, where the average SATs are 739 verbal and 756 math, with 153 national merit semifinalists and 21 national merit scholarships in a class of 420 or so...</p>
<p>Yeah, I don't think your high school is anything special especially for a magnet high school. My daughter attends a public high school that has average SATs around 1230, and this isn't even a magnet high school, although they do have some internal magnet programs that the high school instituted.</p>
<p>I think it is something....</p>
