[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Let’s not forget HB that there are no intensified classes offered. [/b] You keep talking about AP classes but fail to mention  that your students are taking all basic classes with those.  The students at Yorktown, Wakefield, and W&L are having to take these AP classes along with intensified classes to be competitive.[/quote]

People keep repeating this, but it is not accurate.   HB [u]does[/u] offer intensified math options in every grade.  I wish people that don't actually know would stop repeating things that are not true.

And it is also worth noting that at least in middle school, HB's courses [i]all [/i]move at an "intensified" pace because they have to compress the curriculum into a shorter amount of total class hours than the other schools, to allow for their extra electives, weekly town hall, etc.[/quote]

also if the poster views it as [i]has[/i] to take the AP classes and intensified classes, then they are not going to make it to an elite college. and even if they somehow do, they are not going to be very happy once they get there and have to compete with students who seek out and thrive on the challenge.
