[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s your concern about NW?[/quote] OP here. I would like to see the availability of a full AP panel and a peer group to pursue it. I need to get a sense how the grades in NW correspond with the standards of a national exam that APs are. Weaker schools are famous for giving out A's that are equivalent to a 3 on an AP. That is worthless. The overall state test results in NW are weak. I think it is AWESOME that NW does well for students who come from disadvantaged bckgrounds. That, and not the raw test scores, is what drives its Greatschools ratings. "Disadvantaged" does not describe my kid, but it describes me when I was a teen. I appreciate that. That said, top students also need an outlet, a "school within a school" that makes the overall test results irrelevant. There is some kind of Ulysses program that has been described to me as busywork. That said, my child is young and may never need that kind of accommodation. [/quote]
