[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private school can be challenging for kids who are on either send of the curve. There just isn’t a large enough pool of students to distinguish them. If there is only one or two classes per grade, balanced by race and gender, then there is no wiggle room to have a “gifted” class. This is often the case with parochial schools and ones with heavy price tags where the rich buy prestige. The kids in your child’s class represent the culture of the school.[/quote] +1. The curve is relative to the situation, bit it can always be hard to be an outlier no matter where you are. Also "best" local school can mean many different things and does not always mean you have a really smart cohort. [/quote]
