Default Re: Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics

I think we have to look at something else. It's something the city can point to as an option for people interested in moving themselves or their business here from out of state if they've got a high-achieving child. NYC has a famous high school of science and math and a school of performing arts. It looks good for Oklahoma to provide a place for their brilliant students to study, especially if they're from really small towns where their educational needs might well not be provided for. If they go out of state to school, they'll always say they're from Oklahoma. And a certain percentage do come back, I know, as some of them are in medical school at OU.
