[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any serious discussion is appreciated. We are currently in the Kilmer pyramid but will make the efforts to move if there is significant benefit. The child is a rising 6th grader and is decent in math (top in his AAP class) but is not particularly driven -- he feels comfortable being with other easy going kids. We are hoping he could be a bit more focused on his study, if there's a good peer group but my older one at Kilmer is drifting without much positive influence from his peers (maybe it's him, not them -- but who knows). We don't know Cooper well, but the anecdotal stories at Longfellow are just brutal -- the kids there are just insanely driven to ace in all kinds of competitions. Would Cooper offer an environment that's more competitive than Kilmer, but more relaxed than Longfellow? [/quote]
Well, given that just a few years back the Cooper AAP kids went to Longfellow before Cooper had an AAP center, I'd think Cooper and Longfellow are very similar academically. Certainly at the top, as those kids go head to head in many academic/STEM competitions.

Kilmer is more relaxed. Ultimately, as others in the thread said, it really depends on the kid. If they're internally motivated, they will find their peer group at any of these schools.[/quote]
