[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Westland she'll get a great education if she is a ferocious advocate for herself, learns well in classes with 30 plus students and has teacher's that have no time for her. If she wants to play a sport has she been on travel teams since she was five?  In high school the competition is fierce and there are very slots on sports teams for regular people.  I know because I have one in private and one in public.  Publics are great if your kid is totally a self starter.[/quote]

Holton is extremely competitive about its sports.  I'm sure their varsity teams are as hard to get on to as BCC.  Something like lacrosse (which I have seen in action because my DDs school plays them) is probably more competitive than BCC.

That being said I agree about public schools generally - I also have one in each.  Although we have found that the public school teachers are very focused on working with individual kids when they ask.  Based on what the OP described her DD is more like my private school kid than my public school kid.[/quote]
