[quote=sunshine237][quote=Anonymous][quote=sunshine237]My rising 7th grader is currently in the AAP program in the Langley triangle. We are hearing a lot of instances of bullying and other social infractions at Cooper which made us look at Flint Hill. What are the key differences between these schools to consider? Of course, fees and class size is a given. However, are the schools comparable in other areas, including academics, rigor, global curriculum? Langley's course offerings including AP and IB options look comparable to FH upper school offering, however, is the admit to IVY and top schools comparable? Since both Cooper and Langley recently renovated their buildings, do they have newer technology? [/quote]

College placements out of Langley will be better than out of Flint Hill, although Langley only has AP (not IB).

I'd go with Flint Hill if my kid were struggling academically at Cooper, but middle school kind of sucks everywhere, and Langley has a lot to offer for a public high school.  [/quote]

Thanks. I would think that college placements will be harder at Langley, because of a competitive student body? Also, there is better college counselling at Flint Hill that starts at 9th grade? Is that incorrect?
