[quote=Anonymous]BCC IMO is deserving of the fluctuating top school rating HS with VERY involved parents but seems to be less of a helicopter environment than what I've observed with Whitman, RMHS. It can be as intense as the kids want. The IB program there is 'self-selecting' and an IB ready student is a different (not smarter!) kind of student than the typical AP sort and kids pushed into the program flounder. High achieving isn't necessarily defined by academics alone and its top tier rowing club as well as things like cricket, squash, girls' hockey and its music and drama programs let kids find their place. I've had 3 very different kinds of kids graduate from there - one full IB, one full-on AP, one a broad mix: two to Ivies, 3rd to a top-rated specific area of study college. [/quote]
