[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't send a kid to a lower-performing school just to gain an edge in college admissions. The risk of a kid going off his current path is too high, and the chance of getting into an Ivy is too low. I'd just do it because it's what I could afford, and because the kid would get some experiences not possible in schools where everyone is rich.[/quote] Yes. Looking at the DCPS profile, Cardozo had 2% advanced in math and 5% advanced in reading. If you really think he is capable of getting 5s across the board on AP tests, how much benefit do you think he'd get from the classes? I think he'd be far better off at a selective DCPS high school, such as Banneker or SWW.[/quote] Not only that, but what about your child. Think about your child and what environment they would enjoy, rather than treat his educational high school life as some bizarre educational experiment to get a leg up into the ivies. Weird!!!! :thumbdown: [/quote]
