[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you can probably keep your daughter in the same school and cut down on her workload.

I've had two kids in two different DCC MCPS high schools. They take the hardest classes available to them and still only have half an hour to an hour of homework a night. Their unweighted GPAs are/were both in the 3.8 range and weighted around 4.6.

Does your kid do a lot of activities? Mine do not. They get plenty of sleep.[/quote]

OP said her DC is at a W school in MoCo - so highest rigor will be a boatload of AP classes.  This comes with a lot of work.  OPs student would need to cut back on the number of AP courses in order to achieve a lighter homework load at her current school.[/quote]

It also comes with a certain type of “high achievement” culture. Those of you in lower moco know what I’m talking about. It’s a complete self piling machine between the parents, teachers, and kids. We live in Whitman and sent our kid somewhere else because we had heard horror stories about it. Like op, our daughter is diligent and smart, and we were worried about putting her in that environment. We didn’t want her high schools to be all stress eventually leading to burnout. Op - get her out of there. Anywhere is better.[/quote]
