[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The kids that do best there in terms of grades, AP scores, and elite college admissions are those that go from ATS directly to HB[/b]. Seems counterintuitive, but thats just my experience. Mine went to the neighborhood elem. and really floundered for a bit until he got to 9th grade and became more self-disciplined. What people never talk about is how low performing/disruptive students are "mentored" into going to their home schools.[/quote] I call horseshit on this. Again, if you win ATS in ES, you should be ineligible to even apply for HBW. These are not people who are committed to an educational philosophy. These are people who are either chasing something these perceive to be a hot commodity or are fleeing their neighborhood school. Neither belongs at HBW. But more to the point, it's a fundamental question of fairness -- you should only be allowed to win one lottery.[/quote]
