ONE of three citywide gifted programs, and the only one that goes from K-12. Very challenging. Many APs for a small school. High standards: students take AP US history instead of global in 10th grade. School will offer Latin and college courses through St. John’s this year. Innovative electives like “Numbers in Real Life.” First Siemens semifinalist last year. Students published in journals. Many clubs, like Flamenco dancing. New leaders have improved atmosphere.
