<p>Small private school.</p>

<p>100 pct college_bound.</p>

<p>Avg ACT 25.2.</p>

<p>Only 2 APs (Chem and British Lit).</p>

<p>But up to 26 credits available through Dual Credit classes (from local Community College) taught at hs by certified hs staff.</p>

<p>These credits are accepted at all 8 colleges I’ve checked with so far (top Midwest LACs).</p>

<p>Our local public high school offers 22 different AP courses but the average SAT CR score was a low 496 and the math 498. The average ACT was a shocking 21. 62% of the 2800 students took the SAT last year. Only 80% graduated. Only 40% of the AP tests scored 3 or better. Is it any wonder that I am sending my 2012 daughter to a public boarding school next year? Her SAT and ACT scores were higher in 6th grade than the average senior’s at our high school.</p>

You’re a good sport POIH.</p>

51

<p>^^^^: You too bovertine.</p>

52

<p>Just to confuse the heck out of the curve…
SATs 2100+/2400
APS 0</p>

<p>They just take university courses instead.</p>

53

<p>SAT (school as a whole): 1640
SAT (magnet): 1926
23 AP classes.</p>

<p>The magnet comprises approximately a quarter of the school, and all math/science AP classes fall under its umbrella.</p>

54

<p>12 AP classes
SAT: 1320/1600, 1960/2400</p>

55

<p>12, I think.
2150/2400.</p>

<p>Selective public school; most students don’t feel the need to take more than 2-3 AP classes because the other classes are much more enriching and valuable.</p>
