    The Lawrenceville School offers a post graduate (PG) year to recently graduated high school students as a transitional year between high school and college. This year as a boarding member of the Lawrenceville community (similar to that of a university) is an excellent opportunity for students to continue their social and academic development while refining their study and time management skills.

In addition, there are opportunities to retake standardized tests, such as the SAT or ACT, if improving standardized test scores is a goal for the year.…

    honors classes to them just because they assume they will not be capable to handle them. There is not a motivation to encourage them to take highly demanding courses, and since they are new in the system, they are unable to complain for something different.

The argument is unfair for those who excel in mathematical and scientific ability but lack of English proficiency.…
