Academic Achievement
USM students make up less than 1% of the total number of students enrolled within Milwaukee County, yet in 2011 they account for nearly one-third of all National Merit Semi-Finalists in the County.
USM students lead the state in SAT scores, with a 2031 average score (vs. WI average 1778). See http://www.usmk12.org/academicachievement for more academic achievement information.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or achievement:
“If twins are believed to be less intelligent as a class than single-born children, it is not surprising that many times they are also seen as ripe for social and academic problems in school. No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasn’t been studied either.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“Art—the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
