[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is entering 9th grade and received a merit scholarship to a private school. She has all A's in 8th grade at a good public school and takes honors classes. Before we learned about the scholarship, she was recommended for all honors and AP classes at our public high school. We were very confused that the private school is only placing her in two honors classes next year. Is that typical? In public school, many kids take all honors. [/quote]

OP this board will tell you yes that is the case and that the classes are better in private. That is garbage. I have done both. Public and Private (big three  and Phillips boarding, if that matters to anyone).  And one AP course in 9th. If not then she is getting a subpar education, given she's already an A student. Yes, I will be flamed for that, go ahead and disagree people.

Personally, I would call the school and have her moved to the honors classes at the very least. Why in the world would you want to drop her down?

While yes in public many take honors it all shakes out. In other words, in 10th grade, if a kid was not doing well in HS they drop down to regular happens every day.
