Lizzie, in fact almost every child who gets into Lowell comes with straight A's in eighth grade in honors classes and very high aptitude and achievement test scores. PSATs are not taken until 10th grade, and have no bearing on admission at all. I believe about a third of Lowell students are mentally gifted and in the state GATE program as well. In the last few years there has been some VERY small allowance made for black and Latino students and those who come from a background of poverty, but these children are all made to attend summer school to catch up. So the differences between Asian and other students at Lowell is really miniscule.
