[quote=Anonymous]It goes without saying that what you're seeing has more to do with socioeconomic factors of the students' families than a problem with the school. As a Howard County parent, I can say with some confidence that student achievement is closely related to the education level of the parents. If your child is a high achiever and is given the ability to perform well by receiving an enriched curriculum containing GT and AP courses, then your child will do well regardless of how many other students at the school earned National Merit awards or matriculated at an Ivy. That said, I'm sure you understand that a very tiny percentage achieves National Merit honors and even fewer are accepted by Ivies. An expectation of those achievements is the very definition of a pressure cooker. [/quote]
