[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High schools in this area are pretty much sink or swim. If your daughter needs executive functioning help, you’ll need to hire an EF coach. [/quote] I agree. In addition, you should be prepared for the highly competitive nature of this area. There are schools in the northeast that don't rank kids and foster a cooperative rather than a competitive atmosphere among students. NoVa is basically the opposite. I've heard middle schoolers trash talking each other about their future SAT scores. Maybe the peer pressure to do better than the next person will give your daughter the nudge to succeed. [/quote] APS high schools don't rank. All students with a weighted 4.0 and above are ranked number 1 and are considered valedictorians. [/quote]
