Abstract	This article focuses on the specialized academies in math and science, aimed at serving students for whom even a rigorous high school lineup of college-preparatory and honors courses is not enough. Math and science academies have been a fixture in states and school districts for decades, but they are drawing renewed interest as educators and elected officials search for ways to cultivate top-tier academic talent--students who they believe will eventually become pioneers in research and industry and help maintain the United States' economic prominence in science, engineering, and technology. Though the elite nature of some academies leads critics to question whether state money might be better spent elsewhere, supporters of such academies believe that the benefits of attending a specialized math and science school are obvious.
