[quote=Anonymous]Lowell cannot guarantee you admission to your top high school. They can just set you up extremely well. Here are things Lowell does that your public probably does not: a teacher will be assigned to mentor your DS for HS application process (mock interviews, work together on essays); the MS division head and HoS will call the HoS at your top choices and be able to relay personal details about your DS and why they are a perfect fit for the school (if true); your DS’s teacher recommendations will reflect personal knowledge of your student and their strengths and what makes them unique. Also true per above that Lowell will not provide a great athletic environment (most of the athletes there play on travel teams, so the school team isn’t their primary one). But they will provide excellent instruction in writing (the top HSs in the area regularly say this about Lowell grads), an intro to the progressive curriculum that most of the top private HSs in the area feature, and a top notch education in self-advocacy (Lowell kids know how and when to ask for what they need to succeed in the classroom).
