Academic progress of Joe Petraro-Hyppolite

Overview

Joe Petraro-Hyppolite, a 13-year-old from Long Island, New York, is preparing to enter a master’s degree program at New York University (NYU) next fall. His studies will focus on sports management, kinesiology, and biology.

A child prodigy with an IQ of 168, Petraro-Hyppolite has achieved several academic milestones, including earning a high school diploma at age 11 and scoring 1,590 on the SAT at age 10. Following his high school graduation, he pursued online studies at Louisiana State University (LSU) and expects to complete his undergraduate degree in May.

His academic progression follows significant health and developmental challenges. He was previously placed in special education classes due to communication difficulties and involuntary movements, and he has faced prolonged bullying. He has been diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, dyslexia, and severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Additionally, he is a survivor of lymphocytic leukemia, which he battled in the third grade. Following professional evaluations during that year, his family transitioned him to a school that allowed for self-paced learning.
