[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a magnet school or a boundary school.  If the former, then class rank is not good, because all the kids are supposedly amazing.[/quote]

School district with approx. 9,000 students in the 9 - 12 grades and four school sites, all of which are open to any student in the district boundaries (subject to lottery in the event of imbalance). But to your point, the school in question is operated as a 4x4, highly rigorous academy (e.g., over 4,600 AP exams were administered this past May) and for that reason, it's akin to a magnet school. Around 60 NMSFs this year in a senior class of roughly 525, which is consistent with past years.[/quote]

I LOL’d when I got to 4,600 AP exams and the NMSFs. The College Board is selling all that data to the colleges. Instead of rank they will use deviation from the mean. [/quote]

Oh thank goodness! So standardized testing is not only alive and well, it’s actually vanquishing GPA in the admissions calculus?![/quote]
