[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s very difficult to compare private schools to magnet programs at public schools.  Probably fair to say that Holton is the most rigorous private school in Maryland (with Landon, Georgetown Prep and Stone Ridge in the conversation). How these to private schools stack up against the magnet programs at some public schools is an open question.[/quote]

Holton does offer 9th grade Algebra, so there are some kids taking "less rigorous" classes ... it also offers Algebra 2/Trig for 9th graders which is in line with a  "rigorous" course selection.

I think this is also similar to most private and public schools.

Could you point to something in Holton's course offerings that suggest that their whole student body is taking a "more rigorous" work load than any other student in any other private school in MD? I even would venture to guess that a top student at Whitman is taking just as rigorous a workload as the top student at Holton.

This is a very myopic way to look at schools.

The question is, what is your child's specific goal and does Holton offer courses (and an environment) that will help your child attain those goals. Are there other schools in MD that would also foster your child and ensure she could attain her goals.

Obviously Landon and GP are not going to do that, if you have a daughter. Could Stone Ridge? Could another MD school?[/quote]
