[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, you are not quite correct. The APs generally provide very controlled curricula. Schools that don’t offer APs in NYC, often offer multiple tracks for some subjects e.g., high honors, honors, regular, etc., which often fosters extra pressures about which track a kid is in. Alternatively, not offering APs will put more pressure on your kid when taking SATs, ACT, and perhaps increase the importance of what their school chooses to say in their college recommendation!
Not sure  exactly what is wrong with Tufts or Emory—check out their 2024 RD admit rates before putting them down— but plenty of CGPS kids get into schools like Columbia, Penn, Cornell, UChicago, USC, etc.
To be accurate, the majority of kids at all these NYC private schools generally come from the same sort of background.
If anything, CGPS has become even more rigorous in the last few years, so your kid will enjoy the same nightly privilege of working just as hard as at Dalton et al.

Agree. Getting rid of AP has hurt top students that do not have hooks. Having same curriculum and AP exam is the best way to differentiate students. [/quote]
