[quote=Anonymous]I agree with getting your child to go to the teachers for extra help. I was in a mediocre private high school and switched to  a top DC high school a long time ago and the teachers were tough at the top school. You could easily get Cs, especially in the beginning. I brought most of them up to As and learned a lot in the process.  By the time I got to college, I was over prepared. College was easy for me (it was a.tope college) and other fellow students from the same high school reported the same. It is important to make sure that your child can be happy and thrive in this high school environment. If it is a top high school it may be a little cut throat. Those high schools concentrate a lot of the top talent and make them compete against each-other for colleges. Junior year they will start marshalling the student college application process, because they will orchestrate who goes where to some extent depending on a lot of factors.  Personally my impression is that a child can get prepared for college at a public high school as long as they are engaged and working. This has been the approach I chose for my own children. Good luck OP! Your child can work this out with the right support. I am sure that there are many others at that school in the same situation.[/quote]
