It's been a while since we've had a post, mostly due to how busy we were at the end of the school year!

I'm extremely happy to announce that my bio classes for 2011-2012 had an incredible (even without the boost from the Regents scale) 95% average on the Regents exam!!!
Special thanks to those who consistently used test-taking skills (underlining and using the keywords from the questions, drawing pictures and diagrams, predicting the answers before looking at the choices) - you all scored in the high 90's, and we also had five 100's!

In about a week, I can report on the AP Chem results, which I'll get by then via email.
So far, we still have a median score of 800 on the SAT II Chem !!! Excellent work!!!

Update: Spectacular job done by the 2011-12 AP Chem Class! 17 students, 13 FIVES !!! Congrats gang!
