America Coleman · Answer 1

For being most interested in finding a school that has children with diverse abilities, I would choose the Marie Curie School.

Explanation:

Though it is true that the intelligence quotient is a good determinant of the intelligence of the students, it fails to exhibit the quality of abilities that the students bear in fields other than academics. As the standard deviance in IQ of the students of the Marie Curie school is high, it can be said that there is a possibility of more students being good at co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
