<p>My school seems all around! But If you don't play a sport, then you are like an untouchable. We are really artsy and pretty much good at everything but we lack academically. I mean you have the smarties that take all APs and Stuff but that isn't the majority of the school.</p>
<p>We have cliques unfortunately but not playing a sport is just social suicide. And Golf, Women's Tennis and Swim do not count (no cut teams).</p>
<p>Fortunately I play Basketball, Volleyball and track! </p>
<p>BQ: do you play any sports?</p>
<p>Athletic mainly with a little bit of academic and some secretive art people</p>
<p>My school is mediocre in all 3 of those aspects, so if I had to choose, I’d say academics maybe.</p>
<p>I got to a large-ish public school, so there are many types of people.</p>
<p>None lol.
Usually ~70-80% of the students at my school go to in-state colleges (extremely non-selective, easy to get into, ranked very low… if even ranked LOL), and only a few APs are offered. Usually valedictorians go to a decent college, but rarely ever to top 20 colleges (last went to Harvard in 2008). The highest SAT and ACT scores in this year’s senior class are a 2090 and a 31 respectively, and the highest SAT IIs are in the low 700’s. Most of the people in our school don’t even know what SAT IIs are, actually… o3o And yeah. We’re lucky to have 2 NMSFs in a year ROFL. And last year’s WHAP class got an average of a 1.34 sometihng on the AP exam lolol. Yeah, when it comes to academics, my school is a huge failure.</p>
<p>I think at least 10% of the students don’t participate in sports and with a few exceptions like dance (went to nationals), we are happy to win district… and sometimes state. It doesn’t happen often though.</p>
<p>And my school is FAR from artsy. Last year, people finally started an art club but no one cares about it. Not even the principal cares about band and I think the band only has around 20 members, and yeah. Most people don’t care about anything art-related. Out of the three, I guess I’d have to say my school is mostly athletic… but yeah. xD</p>
<p>I play golf. Well, actually, I kinda just… pretend I play golf since I don’t ever qualify for state and my school’s team consists of me and one other girl who never comes to practice rofl.</p>
<p>My school is a fairly large suburban high school and we have a lot of all-around students. We make it to states with our athletics, our art is submitted into the paper, and our school is awarded for academics because of our AP scores which is nice lol.</p>
<p>Athletic for sure. We have like 50+ state championships yet half our students pretty much fail Algebra 2 lol.</p>
<p>Athletic. It pretends it’s academic but it;s not</p>
<p>Mine is a hippie and progressive little school. Not really that athletic, but I guess it is pretty amazing in terms of art and academics seeing as it’s a school for the “gifted children.” No one is competitive in our school though, and if they are, they’re like that Stanford analogy: ducks peddling like crazy under the water.</p>
<p>"It pretends it’s academic but it;s not "</p>
<p>lol same.</p>
<p>My school is very much athletic (famous for its football team, among many others). We also have an extensive art/ceramics/photography program, and a lot of students (excluding myself) are very artistic. There is a really small music program that nobody really cares about except during Mass (ugh, Catholic school) when the soloist in the choir sings nonstop and everyone in their heads begs her to shut up. We have <em>decent</em> academics, meaning that it’s pretty much unheard of to take APs before junior year, let alone self-study them, and that only two or three people go to Ivies (or MIT, Stanford, etc.) every year.</p>
<p>"It pretends it’s academic but it;s not "</p>
<p>lol same.
^ lol same for mine as well.</p>
<p>On the school’s website there is SO much fluff and it goes on about how it’s so omgamazing and one of the best schools in the area/etcetcetc and there are pictures of people studying and everything (lolpropagandaftw)… at school there are druggies every where and no one studies and some of the teachers don’t even know the subject they’re teaching so they just read the textbook during class, and then the work ethic of the students doesn’t help either LOL.</p>
<p>We have <em>decent</em> academics, meaning that two or three people go to Ivies (or MIT, Stanford, etc.) every year.
^ LOL that’s “decent”? </p>
<p>A public school near my city sends around 8 people to ivies, Stanford, and MIT and then a handful more to Berkeley, Rice, Northwestern, etc. Of course, my state is awful academically anyways, but I consider that to be AMAZING.</p>
<p>At my school, from 2008 to 2011, one person went to Cornell, one person went to Brown, and one person went to Harvard. That’s it though.</p>
<p>We focus a lot on sports but our football team sucks. We have really talented dancers, musicians, and artists too. There’s also a handful of us who take as many APs as possible, and we have one of the top academic olympic teams in the county. We don’t send anyone to ivies though, but our number one kid in school history went to Hopkins.</p>
<p>I guess our school is pretty sport oriented. But it’s not really a big deal if you don’t. I play golf (Which DOESNT COUNT! lol jk) and basketball, but my life really wouldn’t be different if I didn’t.</p>
<p>My school has a fantastic theatre and speech program, but everybody (including the teachers and staff) only seems to care about football :l. It’s REALLY annoying, which is why I want to go to a college that doesn’t care about sports ;D</p>
<p>My school is fairly athletic, not artsy at all, and not very academically inclined for the most part. Our schools is a school of extremes. The stupid kids at our school are really stupid, and the smart kids at our school are incredibly smart (Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, MIT).</p>
<p>Since my school was created 8 years ago one person has went to Brown.</p>
<p>Golf and tennis are really hard sports, but at my school, both of those teams suck so no one pays them any mind</p>
<p>My school was mostly academics and there were really artsy people. This made our sports teams not so greats</p>
<p>The artsy fartsies are known to be very smart too, so if schools have one of those I think they other would be apparent at some level as well. We have a very strong art and music dept at our school, and because of it our academic levels are much higher than any other local schools.</p>
