97th Percentile

Just want to brag a little about LPV...

So, the cover story in Dinero, a major Colombian magazine published this week (their version of U.S. News and World Report), focused on "colegios" which are private schools. It ranked them (much like college rankings), and published the list of the top 400 schools in the country.

Colombia has 10,000 public schools. LPV ranked 238. That sounds a bit low, but it is in the top 3% of the ENTIRE country! Also, out of the Eje Cafetera (the three states that make up the coffee region), LPV ranks 10th. Out of three states.

I'm not even going to pretend I'm not proud. I work at a fairly prestigious and highly progressive school in Colombia. My boss is Stellita, who has worked for the United Nations and other humanitarian organizations based in South America. Of course, she is also one of the kindest and most intelligent people in the entire world. My other bosses include Diana and Luz M, who may be some of the sweetest women I have ever met. (They are also very intelligent, of course.) The school looks like a resort and the weather is perfect.

I am happy. Life here is good. And my employer is in the 97th percentile. Chevere!
