[quote=Anonymous]The lack of a strong cohort is real; whether it is an issue for one's child is harder to judge. Watching over several years our K-8 exmissions to SAES high school, I noted: (a) SAES was the safety school, and accepted nearly 100% of applicants from our school; (b) the strongest kids never go there; (c) most of the kids that go there are relatively weaker. Our child applied and the school was kind and welcoming, but also made it clear they would not be able to meet DC's needs at the top end. I also know kids from the neighborhood who go there (and their parents), and these are not academically strong or motivated kids. So while the parent posts above are written in a convincing manner, almost as if the writers were not just parents but also were administrators, this pablum of these posts just does not jibe with my first hand experience.
