[quote=Anonymous]Blair and TJ offer the most rigorous curriculum options. The W schools also offer a lot of rigorous AP options and have a large number of students who choose to max out on APs. My guess is there are some similar publics in VA. In general, public schools offer a lot more options for kids who want to accelerate. My extremely bright niece at a very prestigious all-girls private school wasn’t able to access the same advanced math options as our public school offered so she took classes outside of the school day. She could certainly check the most rigorous box because rigor in the context of admissions is based on what other students at your HS do. But if she were somewhere like Blair I’m not sure she would have stood out in the same way. By the way, I don’t have a dog in this fight. My kids are public school kids who are quite average!
