[quote=Anonymous]OK I will spell it out. The overwhelming majority in the bottom 50% of SSSAS students would be in the top 20% of the class at most competitive NOVA public schools. They would have better teachers, more class time, and be treated more fairly than those in the bottom half of any SSSAS class. This is a fact beyond dispute. Specifically ask SSSAS admin for a list of schools where all the kids (excepting athletic recruits) not on the dean's or head's list matriculate. If your child is at SSSAS upper school and somehow never gets an A no matter how hard they study and always manages to get a C+ in some class (which magically changes every quarter) then I will guarantee you unless they can score in the very upper 600s/ low 700s on their SATs they will be denied admission where kids who went to public school and worked equally as hard will be admitted. Kind of depressing to pay $28K to deny your kids a better education at public school I think. And don't forget the wonderful chapel convocation service every quarter where your hard working child can either fight back tears or develop other coping skills when half or more of the class stands up and is applauded for being on the deans or heads list. SSSAS is beyond toxic for 40-50% of its students. Deny this school the opportunity to make your child the sucker for other's advancement. Please I cannot stand thinking of other kids being hurt as much as mine were.[/quote]
