On May 19th 2012, A.U.C's Science Olympiad Team will be competing at the Nationals, setting a new record in the Upper Conservatory's short history. After the Robotics and the History Bowl teams, the Science Olympiad team becomes the third Upper Conservatory team that earns a spot at a National competition, an amazing accomplishment for our young school of 165 students. What makes this accomplishment even bigger is that the Upper Conservatory's team is the first high school team from Miami-Dade that makes it to the National Science Olympiad, where only the Top-60 teams of the country compete.

After losing their ticket in 2011 by only 24 points, the team was determined to make it this year. The countless hours spent after school and on the weekends building model helicopters, memorizing constellations, learning to identify American tree species, and mastering lab skills has all paid off. Archimedean Upper Conservatory has earned its place as one of the two high school teams to represent the state of Florida at the 2012 National Science Olympiad.

State releases school rankings; A.U.C. earns top spot in Florida

On Monday, January 30th, the Florida Department of Education released for the first time individual school rankings for all public elementary, middle, and high schools of the state. The 2011 rankings are based on each school's score in the state's Accountability Report. For the high schools the score is a combination of several FCAT components and non-FCAT components (such as graduation rate, AP exams, College Readiness Indicators).

Based on the FCAT components, the Archimedean Upper Conservatory ranked first among 441 public high schools in 2011 with a score of 714 points (followed by the Collegiate HS at Northwest Florida State College with 711 points and MAST Academy with 703 points). For our young program the first place in the state is one more indication that good work ethics and careful planning can bring tremendous successes. The credit for these superb results goes to all Upper Conservatory's faculty and students for their hard work and dedication and to all the parents and families for the continuous support.

For the non-FCAT components the scores are based on the performance of the students of last year's graduating class. The Upper Conservatory was not given any score in 2011 for these components since the school have not had a graduating class yet. It is with great excitement that we are looking forward to our first class (class of 2012) graduating this June.
