<p>Yay for Hunter College High School (#9) =)</p>
<p><em>proud</em>
Public and proud of it. </p>
<p>This WSJ thing is a bit old. We don’t even have “Physics and PostModern Culture.” </p>
<p>Our school is not one of those wealthy suburban schools surrounded by all the rich people and their nice pretty houses. We’re funded by CUNY, run by Hunter College, with students from all five boroughs of NYC. It’s really one of the poorer and more neglected high schools in New York, especially compared to the more “famous” Stuy, BxSci, etc. </p>
<p>I just wanted to say this because I don’t want anyone getting the wrong idea about Hunter–that it’s one of those aristocratic high schools filled with wealthy legacies–just because it’s located in New York next to all the fancy bluebloods’ schools. A chunk of the seats are saved for the economically disadvantaged, and a huge number of students live in the outer boroughs and must commute to school.</p>
