Some city high school students scored big on a difficult national
science test and got an extra prize out of it Tuesday: the mayor showed
up to congratulate them. NY1’s Education reporter Michael Meenan filed
the following report."Think big and you’ll never fall short of your dreams,” said Kimberly Laughman, a senior at Brooklyn Technical High School.
Laughman delivered those words as she was honored Tuesday along
with 21 other African-American high school students, for scoring well
on a national science test."We have a number of students joining us today who did extremely
well on the Advanced Placement biology exams last year,” said Mayor
Michael Bloomberg at the ceremony.The students scored a three or higher out of a possible five last
May on the exam, making Brooklyn Tech number one in the nation for
black students excelling on this test.
