when i was in high school on nerd bowl we'd go to various high schools, including inner city high schools

the schools would always have big boards at the entrance celebrating the top ACT scores of the senior classes, and all were in the low 20s, which is what i scored as a 7th grader. that put things in perspective

those kids were all the 4.0 students who would have gained admissions to LSU over some very smart friends of mind who got 30s on the ACT and took the same gifted-track prep curriculum at my high school that produced 10+ 30+ ACT scores (out of a group of about 50)

THAT puts things into perspective

The schools I used to go to in NOLA, pre-Katrina, were lower than this. I saw consistent "top scores" in the 13-17 range.

I always had trouble not laughing when the valedictorian with a 4.0, a 13 on the ACT, who could barely speak proper English would not ask, but DEMAND to know what scholarship I was going to offer them.
