(18,570 posts)The study body is 53% white (non-Hispanic) vs 61% white (non-Hispanic) for the area. 37% of the students are not Catholic, 8% non-Christian and 2% non-religious. EDIT> forgot to add they currently have three transgender students and expect that number to go up next year.
Every student takes a minimum of two years of a foreign language and over 75% take four years. Non-religious community service work is required every year, 20 hour minimum.
The four year graduation rate is 98.3%. Senior class graduation rate is 100% for the last seven years.
Every Junior takes the ACT. 100% achieved a score of 25+ (rated as Selective, colleges admitting top 25% of high school graduating class); 78% scored 27+ (rated as Highly Selective, colleges admitting top 10% of high school graduating class). The school's goal is to have 100% of scores 27+ within 3 years. 99% of graduates were accepted to their first choice of college or university, including Harvard, M.I.T. and Oxford.
So I say fuck bigoted generalizations.
