Waterloo Collegiate Institute I'd say we have a pretty good school here. Added to the fact that we're one of the few in canada with AP courses availible. Too bad we suck at compsci though.

Academic Results Waterloo Collegiate: 83% District School Board: 78 % Provincial Average: 69% Applied Results Waterloo Collegiate: 71% District School Board: 38 % Provincial Average: 28% National Math Contest Results Pascal Test Results 12,000 grade 9 students across Canada wrote the Pascal Exam. Waterloo Collegiate ranked: 1st Place in our Zone 1st Place in Ontario 4th Place in Canada Cayley Test Results 10,000 grade 10 students across Canada wrote the Pascal Exam. Waterloo Collegiate ranked: 1st Place in our Zone 5th Place in Ontario 13th Place in Canada Fermat Test Results 8,000 grade 11 students across Canada wrote the Fermat Exam. Waterloo Collegiate ranked: 1st Place in our Zone 3rd Place in Ontario 3rd Place in Canada Euclid International Math Contest 1st in our Zone 18th in Ontario 26th in Canada Canadian National Mathematics League 2nd in Canada still...too bad we suck at computer science. |

So... is Paul's "Waterloo" different from martin's "Waterloo"? Since when has UoW sucked at Comp Sci? 
I'm in Vincent Massey Secondary School, by the way. I'm sure one of the other hundred people from my school who come here will break that down for you. As for me, I have to get there in about ten minutes. |

I have no clue how many science labs we have (cuz there are a bunch >.<)... but this is just cuz our school is new... |

Andy with another classic burn, ne way- here we go- St.Basil Secondary Sault.Ste.Marie Ontario its preppy, close minded and not very good at anything most people from here like to think that they are going on to bigger and better things but usually end up righ back here the year after they graduate to play hockey or football then go to southern ontario for a year of university, where they get the ever living shit scared out of them because they are only used to nice comfy inbred citylife. we do not participate in any Comp.Sci. or math contests. if we did, there would be only a few of us that would try ... and obviously get destroyed. However, it is the only highschool in our board that offers Discrete Math (theres only 3 schools in our board and one of them is an all girl's school) |

But I haven't seen Dodge's name on any trophies that actually brought our school to #1. 
I wouldn't put us in top ten in North America either. Really really smart schools don't go to ARML. Philip Exetor and Thomas Jefferson school aren't the best in the U.S. for math. All the uberl33t USAMO people comes from obscure towns that have like a population of 200. but on the other hand. I'm pretty sure we are better than that whatchamacallit school that elcomandante came from. |

Good old CDDHS The old girl's quite the school, they gave us new locker doors that was exciting. We have a fair amount of people in G&D and Compsci, and our math department was best in ontario a year or two back, they gave us a bunch of calculators.. i guess we arent doing to bad for ourselves. Other than that though, its overrun by hicks. |

first of all ELCOMANDANTE you're a real dumbass because you can't blame the school board for those things because your principal is the one in charge of what teacher to hire and which to fire, they are also the ones to decided what to spend the school's budget on! so there for it's not the school boards fault if you school sucks it's teh principal! |

Student Council does a really big job in terms of what to spend money on, actually. All the money from yearbook sales and registration goes to the student council. Aoi wrote: so there for it's not the school boards fault if you school sucks it's teh principal!
I'd say it's more the reputation of the school. The reputation is really important in whether a student/teacher decides to go to that school. And if you have great students and great teachers, a bad principal means nothing. Actually, I think the principal has very little to do with how good the school is. |

Yeah, of course the principal has to approve/hire the teachers. But the thing is, the principal can't say which teachers want to teach at their school. It's the reputation of the school that attracts teachers to teach there (and other factors, such as pay, location, friends, etc.). |

It can't (legally) give Turing out for free--to everyone that is. It probably gives it out to it's computer science students, because your school paid extra money for that distributive right. |
