The British Have Arrived: They're Reviewing City Schools

I remember when they came to Stuyvesant High School a few months ago. One of them came into my physics lecture and left promptly about 5 minutes into it after the professor started solving differential equations to model damped oscillations. In the class were seniors headed for MIT, Harvard, Columbia, Caltech, Princeton, Intel semifinalists and other prestigious award winners, as well as extremely bright juniors who will see similar successes in the year to come. The unique academic atmosphere in Stuyvesant is what promotes such success and growth in the students.

Stuyvesant received a mark of 'proficient', while 49% of the schools reviewed received marks of 'well-developed.'

Clearly the "intense scrutiny" and/or the evaluation criteria of Cambridge Consulting is laughable if it yields such results.
