In 2008, it was ranked the number 46 high school in the nation and the number seven high school among those with open enrollment.

Probably the best-known story of Bill's young life comes from his junior year in high school, which is 1984, and here's how it's explained in a 2013 Vanity Fair article by William Cohen.

He wagered his father $2,000 that he would score a perfect 800 on the verbal section of the SAT.

The gamble was everything Ackman had saved up from his bar mitzvah gift money and his allowance for doing household chores.

I was a little bit of a cocky kid, he admits, with uncharacteristic understatement.

Tall, athletic, handsome, with cerulean eyes, he was the kind of hyper-ambitious kid other kids love to hate, and just the type to make a big wager with no margin for error.

But on the night before the SAT, his father took pity on him and canceled the bet.

I would have lost it, Ackman concedes.

He got a 780 on the verbal and a 750 on the math.

One wrong on the verbal and three wrong on the math, he muses.

I'm still convinced some of the questions were wrong.

And that says a lot.

Man, he's really not doing any favors for the Cerulean Eye community.

No.

Like, people already think we're soulless.

We just got this guy just piling on.

Fucking narcissist.

That's so, like...

Everything you need to know about Bill Ackman as a person is that this is the kind of guy who's honest.

This is not a joke.
