[quote=Anonymous]No experience at Franklin with an AAP kid but my older went for regular honors classes. I was not impressed with my younger’s experience at Carson. They are in high school now and thriving but still are so impacted by the horrific competitive nature of the kids at Carson and their families. There is zero “school culture” — feels like a ton of scarcity mentality and everyone vying to stand out for TJ and be a neuroscientist at 16. Honestly, I found here middle school kids obnoxious and lacking humility. Did not have the same issue in high school or at Franklin. There has been lots of admin turnover at both schools, but at Franklin I think it has been for the better end at Carson it just seems like a patchwork of folks who have no direction. We also found the Carson afterschool programming to almost cater to the competitive individualistic academically driven kids. The wild thing is my daughter scored well above all these kids, got into TJ and elected to go to our local high school just for a break. She’s a sophomore and doing phenomenally. [/quote]
