[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both Carson and Hughes are AAP Center schools, but the math students demonstrate the difference in the type of student attending each school. A kid from Carson is coming out of a different STEM environment then a kid from Hughes. I can see a kid coming out of Hughes being shellshocked at TJ because the students at TJ different. Carson has a Mathcounts, Science Okympiad, and Science Bowl Club. About 120 kids try out to make the 30 person Mathcounts and Science Olympiad Clubs. Hughes offers a club for Mathletes and a STEM Lab but not Mathcounts or Science Olympiad or Science Bowl.

Carson students will find TJ challenging but they are more likely used to that type of environment. They have been surrounded by a good number of high achieving STEM kids who are interested in TJ. Hughes students are smart and have the skills to do well at TJ but are less likely to have been involved with STEM kids who are as competitive and motivated by attending TJ.

What year are above stats from? [/quote]

Last year. I would be surprised if the stats were all that different going back any length of time.
