[quote=Anonymous]In Holton, at least in middle school, they are told not to talk about their test grades to one another. I am not saying it doesn't happen but I do know a girl that got a not so great grade in a class and the girl next to her saw it, blabbed it to a few, it got back to the girl and by the end of the day the blabber was in the head's office. They don't tolerate it.

And really it is nice to have some healthy competition but I think you will find asking her to compare her with peers grades could start off some self esteem issues (on grades, athletics, looks, wealth) if that isn't her personality. Some girls are confident and can handle it. Seems like you were one of them. But girls in middle/upper do enough wondering/competing that adding the moms to it could get tough. Just food for thought. I think you realize she isn't like you anyway. That isn't to say one of these schools couldn't  help guide her to find that spark. We didn't apply to NCS so I can't really comment on it but your daughter seems like a Holton girl to me. [/quote]
