The percentage of advanced teachers is 80%, it offers 23 AP courses, and 99% of graduates matriculate to four-year universities. I once visited the school; it was snowing in Boston on the day of my visit. The admissions director gave me a tour of the school, and its environment and facilities were excellent. That year, Chinese students were admitted to Brown University and Cornell University, making it a highly recommended middle school.
