No kidding, I got better scholarships than both the Val and Sal of my class. While they both had about .2 on me on GPA I had a good 4-5 points on both of them on the ACT.
I was fortunate that the rural school in my area is consistently among the best in the state. Honors classes weren't offered, but our classes were tough. We would have honors kids move to town and instantly become C students.... I would have no problems sending children to my old school...
The local private school OTOH, thats where you go to learn to roll your own!
