[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As I mentioned, both are very good schools. Just that academics are much stronger at LA. FH tends to emphasize sports a bit more, and this manifests itself in Madison HS, where academics are a distinctive second to sports.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Flint Hill doesn't "emphasizes sports." There're no school sport teams or clubs. A lot of kids play in a rec league for baseball, soccer, or basketball or join a swim team during the summer, but isn't this the norm for families who want their kids to grow healthy and happy? Plus, kids from both Flint Hill and Louise Archer, AAP or not, eventually end up at Madison.[/quote]

Do not disagree.

[b]Families at Flint Hill generally tend to actively participate in sports. That is healthy and important. I love that. No disrespect.

At the same time, LA families tend to put more emphasis on academics. Thus many academic activities tend to be stronger at LA. This has an impact on class room as well. [/b]

I am not at all saying one is better than the other. So if a family has a kid who is not going to play sports or would emphasize academics, then LA is the obvious choice. There is a limited amount of time in a week, if you are going to put time on one thing, it would take away time from other things.

It is nice to have such excellent choices right next to each other. Not a slam on any school. Had kids in both and like them both, a lot.

[b]Code for Flint Hill has more white families and Louise Archer has more Asians/Indians.[/b] [/quote]

Tell me you are a racist without telling me you are a racist.

The majority of people who go to LA from Flint Hill are white families.
