[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know he makes 3mil, but I am not sure how much weight I should give to that. He’s been there for 20+ yrs, obviously successful. When looking at high schools, I was more concerned about the other options, where administrations had a lot of flux. The thing about math is more concerning (b/c we actually care about academics!), what TT schools do you think are stronger in science/math than HM at high school level?[/quote]

HM is very strong at math in the upper grades, particularly in terms of their high-level offerings for advanced students; they have enough accelerated kids in middle school to offer an official placement test to skip a grade in math, so you've got a bunch of them on track to have finished geometry before they start 9th grade, and pretty much the only places you're going to find more post-AP math offerings than HM has are Stuy/BxSci/HSMSE.[/quote]

Thank you, that was my impression as well! So if joining in 9th grade, even if placed into the honors geometry, you will still be a year behind the most accelerated group?[/quote]
