<p>I live in the L.A area..the schools which have a lot of popularity is:
Harvard-Westlake
Beverly Hills High School
Palos Verdes
Loyola
Santa Monica
Whitney</p>
<p>1) The hype is more over the amount of books in the library (the most of any library of any secondary school in the world) than over the architecture.</p>
<p>2) The architecture is quite famous. The Exeter Library is being featured on a set of Post Stamps by the U.S. Post Office, as part of a series of great architecture.</p>
<p>3) The Library has 9 floors, not 5.</p>

<p>The library is the single most wonderful thing ever. (Exie 09er)
I'd been looking for an English translation of the French novel "Mademoiselle de Maupin." I couldn't even find it on amazon - but it was THERE on my visit to the library. That library is INCREDIBLE.</p>

<p>xandero1227: "The dead B.F. Skinner?"</p>
<p>And you win the prize. My previous posts were thick with sarcasm, yet nobody seemed to notice. I thought people would pick up on the sarcasm since B.F. Skinner is quite dead (and has been for a while). rippledance and x___infatuation apparently didn't notice.</p>
<p>esahopeful95: What's wrong with 9 floors? 9 floors are needed to shelve all the books. Also, there is an elevator. </p>

<p>Its inconvenient, when you could just have it on 3.</p>
<p>haha rebel<em>by</em>choice, i forgot them, i acutally put a similar list on a similar thread, and theyre included on that list (i kind of just pulled the ones i put on this list out of nowhere)</p>
<p>oh and Rex_Run, haha did you hear about a girl at harvard-westlake who got like awarded by the principal for admitting that she ate a pot brownie at school? it's in a book called "the gatekeepers" (true story that follows the college admissions process, i recommend it). i think she went there a few years ago though.
random, yes, but it just reminded me...
(the girl was muy irritating)</p>
<p>Bronx Science. Thats all ;).</p>

<p>anyone ever get their hands on a PRIVATE NJ high school ranking, its seems like their has never been an evaluation on New Jersey's PRIVATE schools</p>
<p>esahopeful95: "Its inconvenient, when you could just have it on 3." </p>
<p>By your logic, the most convenient form would be a 1-floor super-library, no? This library would have quite the large footprint...</p>

<p>haha yes! this damn girl like ate a bite of some pot brownie that somebody made and brought to school, and the person who made them got caught, and the girl felt so "guilty" that she had been one of the ppl who ate one, that she basically went to the principals office for no reason and was like "i took a bite of the pot brownie". no one wouldve known if she hadnt announced it, but the prinipal was so "amazed" by her "honesty" that she barely got punished, and got like rewarded for being honest. and then the girl goes and writes her college essay about it!! she was so ridiculous. haha you should find out if nayone at your school knows about her. (read the gatekeepers too, theres a ton of stuff about harvard-westlake in it)</p>

Go Wellesley! Raider Pride, baby!</p>
<p>BTW- Acton Boxboro wins ACADEC every year because they have it as a damn class, that meets like everyday. At Wellesley and the other schools, it's an extracurricular activity and people spend maybe a couple of hours a week on it. </p>
<p>It's actually funny that the best academic public schools in MA are also the elite football powerhouses of the state. A-B for example has like a 50 something game winning streak and hasn't lost in like 3 years, C-C, Wellesley, and Boston Latin are always good. Sorta refutes the whole "dumbass football school" stereotype.</p>
<p>tear... nobody knows townsend harris... shoulda gone to stuy... NOT!!! we r better than u ppl!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA lol jk</p>
