Congratulations To Gatton Academy Of Mathematics And Science On Western Kentucky University’s Campus On Being Named Nation's Top Five High Schools.
Honor for high school a huge deal
By the Daily News
Being named one of the top five high schools in the country is no small honor. Indeed, it is a huge honor.
It just so happens that one of those top five high schools that were ranked recently by Newsweek magazine is the Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science on Western Kentucky University’s campus
. Gatton was ranked fifth. It was joined in the top five by preparatory and charter schools in Arizona, Texas and Florida.
This is a significant accomplishment and a credit to the students and teachers at the relatively young but already highly regarded institution.
The Gatton Academy earned the high ranking largely because of its students - all students graduate high school and all students attend college.
The ranking says much about the caliber of Gatton Academy, which has been in existence for only a few years and was in competition with schools that, in some cases, have been around much longer.
Gatton Academy allows high school students to live on campus and take college courses their last two years of high school. Most students take advanced college courses that many college students don’t take until their final semesters of college. In 2010, Gatton’s average ACT score was 31.2 of 36 points, and of those top five schools, the academy had the highest average SAT score at 2,053.
Gatton Academy graduates gifted students who have a chance to attend some of the nation’s finest colleges and universities.
Current and prospective students realize what this ranking will look like on a college application.
This ranking should undoubtedly give these bright students much better odds of getting into the colleges of their choosing.
Those involved with Gatton Academy should take great pride in this lofty ranking. It’s a great and well-deserved honor.
