[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Texas consistently ranks in the bottom half of states on education, so I wouldn’t say that a school that’s in the top quarter of a bunch of mediocre schools is going to be a stronger contender for top college/university admissions.[/quote] Texas has bad income, wealth and opportunity inequality, but it has some of the best high schools in the country. A regular public high school with 20 National Merit semifinalists in a class of 550 is a strong high school. [/quote] NMS cutoff scores are set on a state-by-state basis, so how one Texas high school does is relevant only to other Texas schools. But now I’m curious to know what school OP is talking about, because looking at the latest list, it looks like the only school with exactly 20 is a private school.[/quote]
