[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't love my middle school public options, so am thinking of applying to Private for my child. I don't love what I hear/read about private US as a pressure cooker and wonder if others move to public for High School? Is this common?[/quote] You seem to be thinking that all private upper schools are pressure cookers, which is far from true. A few have that reputation but very many are not. [/quote] I’ve heard the opposite. In my area public is a pressure cooker because you’re competing as a senior against 600 other applications to college from your school. And publics tend to have a lot of APs which you are then obligated to take as many as you can to stay competitive. In a private school, that might be more like 80-100 students and fewer APs. [/quote]
