[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so confused by BIM. Is it a good school or not? Why is it ranked so high? Why do students do so successfully with college acceptances?[/quote] BIM is a school that attracts smart kids who work hard and get very advanced math and science education. These smart, well educated (more so in some subjects) kids take loads of AP classes, get great standardized test scores and get into great colleges. That is those that stay; typically more than 1/2 leave after 8th grade. Kids leave because the school has little to offer beyond academics. Families that remain do so because rigorous education is their top priority and they don’t expect/care a lot about broader community, social, culture offerings, etc. in the school experience. These kids would do well and get into top schools no matter where they went to high school but they value the like-minded environment.[/quote]
