[quote=Anonymous]Son entered STA from public school in Montgomery County. Academics were no problem, and he also did very time-intensive sport. However, make sure that you look into the math placement. They are basically tracking the boys, and unless you have been at STA, they won't put you in the advanced math track. Son was in highest math sequence (magnet in MS). STA gave him a placement test, which had some geometry that he hadn't had yet and some unusual notation, so he didn't do that well. However, it would have taken 15 minutes to learn the notation. As a result, he basically did the same math for two years, which meant that as a science major in college, he was behind (just regular AP Calculus AB). Ask to see a practice placement test from STA if accelerated math is an issue.[/quote]
