[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really think it depends on your kid. My daughter played multiple sports at NCS. She had a great social life with kids from all over the DMV, obviously including STA. She chose not to compete with the "smartest" kids at school. She has a 3.87 uw gpa and 35 ACT score first try. I really think kids need to decide what is important to them and as a parent, be supportive of their choices. [/quote] Your daughter sounds like an impressive kid and the exception to the rule. It sounds like she coasted to the top 10% in the class (the average NCS GPA is a 3.5) with an active social life and many athletics. 90% of the girls can't achieve this. My daughter and friends like the school but they work really hard for uneven grades and barely see boys (despite being lovely, outgoing and wanting interaction.) They do play several sports per year.
