[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]check out Gonzaga high pass rates for all of their AP's.  It's a published statistic somewhere but for example AP Lit has 96% 4s and 5s - and every AP teacher said over 92% of their students score 4's and 5's. This is much more impressive to me than GPA.[/quote]

100%  My oldest had 5s on every AP exam and I didn't even see him study for any of them.  I remember the night before two last year when he was watching TV with us--I asked 'shouldn't you be studying for your AP exams?". He said, nah- he's ready:). His teachers prepared him well.  But, it is NOT a 'teach to the test' type of school. They question, they delve into topics beyond AP stuff.

Younger one, so far, is doing the same.

With a kid at a T10--GZ more than prepared him for the rigor.  He said this when I asked which school was harder:

With Gonzaga I had 6 hours of classes a day and studied for 2 hours.
In college, I have 2 hours of classes a day and 6-8 hours of outside work.[/quote]

^ meant to say, he concluded: similar but different.[/quote]
