    - If you have the creative thing going, good. Generally speaking though - it is not academically comparable to those other 2. No way. No how

      - As the mom of a LaG kid, who has many, many friends at Stuy and Bronx, the LaG kids are WAY happier, which in a teen is NOT to be underestimated. By the way, LaG is 2nd behind Stuy among city HS's for getting kids into Ivy League schools.

        Hmm - you don't think that Hunter would be above Stuy even? Or maybe the principal is just talking about DOE schools?

        I should have been clearer. The principal was referring to DOE HS's.

        Do you mean the number of kids who get in or the percentage? (LaG is a big school compared to Bard for example.)

        Honestly, I can't remember. Either way, the comparison was made on a fair basis. The stat is just that - a stat. It reflects well on LaG and isn't meant to detract from the success kids find coming from other schools.

      - Why would a dc go to LaGuardia without having "the creative thing going"?

        Of course, they wouldn't. They wouldn't have passed the audition. The odds are daunting... Well over 10,000 prospective students audition for about 600 spots

How good LaGuardia HS is compare to Styv. and Bronx Science?

academically not even near.

Actually, the honors track is quite good. Colleges tend to love LaG kids, especially those who've been in honors and AP, because of their dual academic and artistic commitment.

If you have the creative thing going, good. Generally speaking though - it is not academically comparable to those other 2. No way. No how

As the mom of a LaG kid, who has many, many friends at Stuy and Bronx, the LaG kids are WAY happier, which in a teen is NOT to be underestimated. By the way, LaG is 2nd behind Stuy among city HS's for getting kids into Ivy League schools.
