[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math instruction at STA is bad full stop. School hides behind its reputation for rigor. But fact is the average STA student is behind many other students. If you are smart you can catch up in college, but this is something the school should address rather than gaslight parents into thinking a mediocre program is teaching things differently and with more rigor.

We came from an excellent public school system locally where there are vast numbers of accelerated kids and very high level math offered.  Our son scored well on the math SSAT.  Our son did well in STA math but also found it challenging—more so than prior accelerated public school math.

My personal view is that the grass is not always greener.   I had always heard the better math was in very good local publics—don’t go to privates for the math sort of thing.  I can speak to that, and it was not our experience. Sidwell parents, for example, also have whole threads dedicated to hating their math departments.  Bottom line is I am not sure where you think math is “better?”  [/quote]
