[quote=Anonymous]I knew you would get some negative responses, OP, but I believe your question is legit because these were the questions I once wondered to myself but never asked anyone. For us, moving DC into a school known for rigor was absolutely the right move. On the ISEE for upper school entry, DC scored straight 9's and only missed one question on the entire test. I actually have no idea how common such 99th percentile scores are at our rigorous private school, but DC is extremely happy to be surrounded by peers who care about academics. Your kid is already saying they are unhappy, so I would encourage a move, either to a high performing public magnet, or to a rigorous private.

We were worried bout a stressful, high-pressure environment, but it turns out that because DC works very quickly and grasps concepts easily, they have been able to thrive without much stress. I know that some of their peers are similar, and others have had to work a lot harder. What matters most is that DC enjoys the more challenging courses, and we have no regrets. [/quote]
