Rae Porter Blackwell, LSS Senior, spent this week at UC Davis Freshman Orientation. She passed the departmental math placement exam which was a big hurdle. We are so happy that she has done well not only on the SATs but also on the departmental exams in English and math, ranking her in the top 2% of California students. Laurel Springs did immeasurably good things for Rae and she is so proud to be an LSS alumni. I have heard her talking to her new friends about the wonderful counselors and teachers that she had at Laurel Springs School.
