[quote=Anonymous]17:37 PP here responding to subsequent post -- trying to contain myself because I thought everyone would understand that you can have an extremely bright child who doesn't do well in a certain educational environment -- either because they have learning differences or something else.  Schools can screen all they want but there are "really bright kids" who need a different kind of school in order to succeed.  Not everyone at STA gets straight As.  Yeah, they are all bright kids, but not everyone can be at the top of their class.  And some kids at STA who are struggling probably would be at the top of their class at another, more fitting, school.

I'm sorry to get testy about this but I also have a child with an IQ through the roof who attends the McLean school because he needs a small, highly structured class.  Having my other child at NCS, I know that my son's test scores (which were higher than my daughter's) would be by far higher than most kids at STA, but he would almost certainly flame out there.  We all have to get away from the idea that IQ determines everything.
