[quote=Anonymous]OP, we have this situation in another part of the country. Some of our kids attended the rigorous private. Some attended the tech magnet. The rigorous private tends to grade harder and that is not really reflected in college admissions results. The tech magnet tends to grade a little easier and overall has fewer requirements. Senior at the tech magnet has top stats and was accepted at a T10; would that have happened from the private? Maybe, though the grades might not have been as perfect as they were, and grades are very important for admissions. It's hard to know what the best choice is and this will vary by kid. I wish one of my kids who attended the private had instead attended the tech magnet. Ultimately, I'd think about which high school seems like the better fit, where they will be happiest. Make sure the tech one has sufficient clubs to support your child's interests, as that is one thing lacking from ours. The private has way more clubs.[/quote]
