Name the school district. BOTC absolutely guarantees that there is not a district on Long Island where the Top 15 Academic students will see 90% holdbacks. Holdbacks for Academic or Athletic reasons never thrive in the classroom. As we have said before, top academic students who excel at their studies will often "play up" with younger students taking more advanced classes, not the other way around.
