[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like another poster said... Do more research about the school so as to get a wider perspective that is not just limited to 2 situations. That being said I live in an area that has what is considered the top high school in the county (Not MoCo) the school is a 10 on greatschools.org however I will not send my DC there and will be opting for private. 'Just fine' is relative. It all depends on what is important to you and what you want for your child. 
The bottom line is private is better [b]for my DC[/b] and that does not mean 'private is better'![/quote]

I will. Both of the students I spoke about did average on the SAT/ACT. However, I am one those people that don't believe how a child does on a SAT/ACT is a true determining factor of their readiness for college. I also dont think either of the two students took an AP courses. The last time I looked at the school's website there was minimal offerings of AP courses. The school seems to be more focused on specialized trade programs (i.e., preparing students for jobs and not so much for college). I'm passign no judgement on that, but that isn't what I have in mind for my children.[/quote]
