[quote=Anonymous]I'm just curios. DC (middle school) goes to a private school that has pretty high academic standards and it's not easy to get an A. I'm sure in high school it will be even more competitive - it's a small school, there are plenty of of overachieving, bright kids, the average ACT score is 28 and last time they had 11 National Merit semi-finalists. We are zoned for a pretty crappy high school and my friend's son goes there. He sleeps in classes, hardly ever does homework. Yet his GPA is 3.8. So, my question is wouldn't it be a good strategy for parents to put their kids from overachieving school to the crappy school for the last year? The kid will have a great GPA, be on top of the class, may even be a valedictorian. And coming from a crappy public school, it will look good on a college application. What do you think?[/quote]
