Describe Your High School!

<ol>
<li>Public</li>
<li>251</li>
<li>Around 10 AP classes every year, give or take a few</li>
<li>Well the best students usually go to UF. No one ever goes to an ivy. I go to a really low-performing school.</li>
<li>My school has immense diversity. I actually think there are more minorities than white people. It’s cool though.</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Public</li>
<li>~600</li>
<li>About 10 or so.</li>
<li>Maybe <15 to top schools. I only know one this year going to an Ivy.</li>
<li>Not very competitive, mostly Latinos. But very pretty aside form all the black marks on the ground due to gum…</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Public</li>
<li>124</li>
<li>10 APs (maybe 1 or 2 more that im forgetting)</li>
<li>1 or 2 every few years. not competitive at all…</li>
<li>school is mostly spanish/black. im the first to get above a 3 on ap stats and english… it’s very uncompetitive barely anyone gets into top unis (there are some exceptions) some of the seniors this year got accepted to cornell, johns hopkins, howard, towson, pace… everyone else goes to SUNY’s or CUNY’s</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Public</li>
<li>Don’t know…maybe 300ish?</li>
<li>Around 10 or 11</li>
<li>None to ivies. There’s always a few kids each year who go to some good public schools like UCLA and UC Berkeley but nothing too elite.</li>
<li>Well, it’s what many might consider a good location; it’s right smack in the middle of a place where you have everything. There are tons of restaurants, stores, a movie theater, etc. The school itself, however, is not very good at all. It’s dominantly populated by unmotivated underachievers (harsh but true). It’s also pretty segregated; The smart Asian kids, preppy rich kids, emos/punks, etc. all hang out with their own ilk. I don’t really like it here at all.</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Public</li>
<li>1150 (school has about 4500 kids total now, 5000 in two years)</li>
<li>all of them except no foreign litterature classes</li>
<li>15 accepted to hypsm, 75 (including the 15 already mentioned) accepted to top 15 schools (we are a feeder for both Uchicago and Northwestern), and 400 or so to UIUC, anyone with a weighted GPA >4 is accepted</li>
<li>Our school is huge, our campus is like, 2 square miles including athletic fields. There is a main campus, and a freshman campus, but they are only like, 500 feet apart. Because of the size, our athletics are rediculous (like, 7 D1 recruits in my football team), and if you do not win state, you are frowned upon because “you suck”. We have really really good academics, like, tip top public school, but our lang dept sucks.</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li><p>Public magnet, with full-blown application, teacher reqs, tests, etc.</p></li>
<li><p>My class has about 80, but we’re the smallest one in the six grades. Graduating class this year had ~106, biggest class (rising freshmen) is ~121.</p></li>
<li><p>We have six APs now, I think (E Lit, E Lang, F Lang, Bio, combo-Econ, Comp. Gov), but, with the exception of Gov and Bio, they all just popped up last year, so they aren’t popular yet. We’re getting IB for the seventh graders this coming year.</p></li>
<li><p>We have a bit of a problem with sending students to the top schools because the district is, on a whole, made up of students of less than affluent background, myself included. Out of the class of 2008, 19 students went to the local community college and about 30 will attend universities of a lesser rank.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>We usually send about 9 or 10 a year to the University of Michigan, our flagship state school. </p>

<p>We’re sending 19 out of state; the biggest names represented are Macalester and Case.</p>

<ol>
<li>I shudder to think what the next few years are going to be like. We’re trying to throw in an “environmental education” program at the same time as IB, more APs, and switching from semesters to trimesters. I barely have time to get all my graduation requirements in, something which has me rather concerned.</li>
</ol>

<p>But yes, that is my school.</p>
