[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is cool, but not totally surprising that it’s a Gainesville school. Gainesville is home to the University of Florida and Buchholz probably has lots of high achieving professors’ and doctors’ kids who far outperform the average. [/quote] If that were the case it would be ranked much higher than 66th and it would have been winning competitions long before he came there[/quote] Without school support and a good coach, a school would not be winning competitions, regardless of the level of the students. The exception is when there are enough students who practice on their own with sites like AOPS. It is not a matter of just being good at math, the contest math covers different topics than the standard curriculum. Particularly counting and probability, and number theory.[/quote]
