In the USA, Great School Rating for this school is 2. Highest rank is 10. Also, the entire high school has only 290 students – not a normal US high school. I am not saying that these girls aren’t smart, but the school has no competition for them. These girls can very well be average performers at a regular high school in the USA, that has some competition/challenge. They just happen to be the best among that set of students. Good Luck to them anyhow.
