Alexis says
If any one of the names on this list read this, I want to say that I think your accomplishment is amazing! I could never grasp math, and remained weak in this area my entire life.
Alexis says
Wonderful! What a positive article about young people achieving.
Jason Zink says
It would be interesting to see statistics on how many seniors there are in AV. And how many are in each High School and what the percentage(%) of 4.0 are for each school, compared to how many are graduating.
Every year for 25 years I hear AV say the are improving test scores bit when we compare them to State statistics, it’s always below State average for AV Union High School District. The District should post this information on their website to make District more accountable too parents students and the community/taxpayer’s!
To Jason says
The info is there buddy, it’s called SARC reports and they are available for all high schools sites on the district website. You can also go to CDE and find basic info graphs for the district and per school. The district is not hiding anything, you are just not looking hard enough.
Congrats to all seniors for their accomplishments.
College GPA says
Lets see how many of you keep that GPA after taking Calculus in college.
Tim Scott says
It always amuses me how so many people think that math is hard.
AV Rickason says
Failed Calculus I take it..? Seems you have some resentment issues over your disappointments from the college years..?
Did you know that most of these kids have already taken and completed a lot of official college courses, and passed with flying colors. Calculus being one of the many courses. However even if that wasn’t a factor, these kids all worked hard and were dedicated to their education. Instead of making headlines for something negative as is SOP, these kids were all about something positive here. So take your bottle of Hateraide and go crawl back underneath your rock over at the bitter quarry. Might I suggest some reading material for those lonely nights..? You should probably read up on something Calculus related. Maybe you’ll get it this time and your show can start and conclude.
Graduate School GPA says
Seems Mr. AV is a little disgruntled by my protégés comment. He/She is simply implying that the care taking skills of a High School teacher is not the same as that of a College Professor. Receiving 5 assignments a week to 5 assignments then an exam is a different environment for these children. I, myself, have taken many forms of mathematics, completion GPA of under 3.8, High School GPA of over 4.0 and I understand what College GPA meant by his/her post. So repeat what my protégé says again Mr. AV, “Lets see how many of you keep that GPA after taking Calculus (Actual University Courses) in college.”
GPA says
Now the real show starts.
