[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this award better than Commended Scholar?[/quote] No. More people qualify for this, unless more than 10% of students at your school get commended scholar (unlikely). [/quote] Our public school last year had 352 graduates and 69 (20 percent) were NM finalists or commended, so at our school being in the top 10 percent is a bigger deal. [/quote] Yes. And the only reason this poster’s (probably suburban) school can have so many NMSF and commended students is because various (probably urban or rural) schools in the same state have disproportionately few. Without this school award, many of the strongest students at those underserved schools would get no recognition at all. [/quote]
