GIVEAWAY: Newton’s New Philharmonia Orchestra and 5 Family Tickets to Family or Classics Concert! Exciting UPDATE!
Thank you to everyone who left a comment. Exciting News!!! EVERYONE WHO LEFT A COMMENT WINS!
HI Mia –
Thanks SO very much for all the concert hype, we truly appreciate it. I just noticed that 14 people have commented on the story so far. Originally we said we’d like to giveaway 5 Family Tickets but we have decided to give a Family ticket to everyone who has commented. The venue holds something like 500 people so there’s no reason not to bring as many people in as we can!
If more people respond, I can giveaway a total of 80 tickets.
To redeem their tickets, they need only e-mail me (krobbins@newphil.org) with their full name by 10am on Sunday, January 29th. They should reference you somewhere, either in the message or subject line. Unless they say otherwise, I will assume they want tickets to the Family Concert.
Will you be able to join us?
Thanks again and please let me know if this works for you!
Many thanks,
Kara

High Schools That Send The Most Kids to Ivy League: Newton North and Newton South (WSJ)
The Wall Street Journal looked at the freshman class at 10 highly selective colleges (i.e. Ivy League), counted them up, and ranked the high schools — private day and boarding, public, and magnet — by the number of kids enrolled. While you would expect elite boarding schools like Andover and Philips Exeter to do well, Newton South High School (NSHS) and Newton North High School (NNHS) both made the list sending in 23 or 6% of its class and 25 or 4% of its class respectively.The pdf is here.

Newsweek published its list of the best high schools in America this week, and Newton North ranked 754 as compared to Newton South’s rank of 776.The rankings — which are based on the number of AP, International Baccalaureate and Cambridge tests taken — are really intended to identify the “principals and teachers who are trying hardest to raise the achievement of each child, with college as a useful goal” said the test’s founder, Jay Matthews, as quoted in the Wall Street Journal. Newton South High School has fluctuated from not being listed in 2003 to a ranking of 478 in 2006, 525 in 2006, 758 in 2007 and 776 in 2008.
Newton North High School was ranked 739 in 2003, 838 in 2005, 964 in 2006, did not make the ranking in 2007, and 754 in 2008. The year of 2004 is not included in the rankings.
According to Newsweek’s Web site, all schools on the list are in the top 5 percent of schools nationwide.
