[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STA parent with a math background. The trolls are somewhat correct. Math instruction at STA is pretty bad and students are clearly behind those schools with better math instruction and class selection. School likes to push the narrative reflected here that math is the taught different or harder here but it’s not really true. There just aren’t a lot of strong STEM type kids at least in my son’s grade. You can see it in for example the NMS numbers. Each class has a handful of good STEM kids and those kids learn it outside of STA. Standard curriculum is pretty basic, but parents assume that it is more because of STA’s reputation. Instruction in other subjects is good, but math is not what I’d consider rigorous. [/quote] My son had a 800 on the math portion of the SAT coming out of STA with very little outside prep. He was in a mix of honors and regular classes throughout his time at STA. They must be doing something right. [/quote]
