<p>Mine, I’d say, is very good in all three categories, but if I had to break it down percentage-wise, I’d say:
45% academic
35% artsy
20% athletic</p>
<p>This is not to say that I have any school pride and thus put my school on a pedestal. That is far from the case. I think my school, academically, puts on a facade of being really warm and friendly but underneath is really cutthroat; a lot of graduates go to the Ivy League and similarly ranked institutions, and about 7-10% of the school has 4.0s though the classes are not considered easy and there is little to no grade inflation.</p>
<p>I would say athletics. We now have the nicest football field I’ve seen in the surrounding area (AstroTurf, logo in center, it looks extremely awesome) while our football team lost EVERY game last season. Basketball and Baseball both went Sweet Sixteen in state this season, although the student body definitely prefers Basketball. Dance Team got fourth in state, but are notorious for their utter lack of technique.</p>
<p>Academically above average for state but not for the suburbs. We have a large Hispanic population which is kind of nice compared to many surrounding schools which are very homogeneous. Decent amount of APs. This year’s Val got a full ride to Vanderbilt and the Sal is going to Georgetown and another girl is going to MIT, but last year the Val and Sal went to the state flagship and Case Western, so this varies. </p>
<p>Arts, lol we never get funding. Besides this fact we’re actually pretty good in theatre and show choir. We’ve had a couple shows selected for theatre festival and our Girls Group for Show Choir went undefeated. We’ve been trying to get a new auditorium for a long time now, but apparently the football field is way more important. Oh well, such is life.</p>
