[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't worry so much coming from this area, where the private schools being discussed on this forum, as well as the vast majority of the public schools, are preparing the students far far better for college than many schools around the country with not nearly the same resources, educated/motivated parent population, richness of the environment in terms of what is going on in Washington DC area, etc. Our kids are both now in college, one at what would be considered a "reach" for everyone with a reputation/history of grade deflation, and the other also a top 20 school, and are doing great. They and their friends indicate coming from their DC independent they were very very well-prepared compared to many of their classmates particularly in writing and time management compared to kids coming in from pretty poor public schools in some areas of the country, or even privates in areas without such a traditional of educational rigor. \[/quote]
