[quote=Anonymous]Frankly, the line between good college choices and limited choices at a top DC private is about a 3.8. So you need to do whatever you can to get your child above this line by the end of junior year. "Whatever" meaning monitoring her work to make sure she gets it done, working with her or getting tutors to help her better understand things, etc. Private school is only "worth it" when ti comes to college outcomes if you can do well at the private because even at those most rigorous privates there are a decent number of kids who are doing well. Maybe not 4.0s but plenty in the 3.8-3.98 range. Now the benefits of attending private outside of college outcomes are many: learning how to think, write, study, etc are skills she will have for a lifetime. But since you mentioned college I will say that she still needs to preform fairly well in the private school environment if she's going to be competitive for top50 schools. [/quote]
