[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STA is not a strong STEM school. Only a very small fraction of boys (10 per year or less) take math beyond Calculus before graduating. (i.e. they started Algebra in 8th grade.). They're not going to send many if any kids to MIT, top engineering programs, etc. -parent[/quote] 10-12 boys taking math beyond calculus is 12-15% of the class. Is that really that bad? As a parent it seems to me that math may be the only STEM area where STA matches local publics. Very weak in computer science and engineering and a general lack of breadth in science course offerings. I’ve never felt the school pushes or would even easily accommodate doing independent research at the level necessary to do a top flight competition. Mandatory sports every season is a major time suck in that regard. [/quote]
