[quote=Anonymous]Can I share my experience... we were at at NCS/Holton.  We pushed for our daughter to be in Honors Algebra 2/Trigonometry because she came from Honors Geometry in MoCo public and had straight As in all of her classes.  Got to private school and realized that the work is way harder than public - the amount of work is similar in terms of hours but what they expect you to produce is so different.  Our daughter drown in math because it moved quickly and required immediate deep understanding in the honors level... she could not memorize her way through Alg 2/Trig and all the problems on tests were "challenge level" unlike her last school.  Daughter also could not write for beans coming from MoCo public which really screwed her in English and History where these schools have youy kids writing deep analytical essays and research papers during quarter 1.  I can't imagine combing that with what you are describing her sports schedule.  Take prelac as a sophomore, calc as a junior then AP Stats.  She will be fine for college admission as long as you aren't going ivy.[/quote]
