[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Herndon HS parent. My kids did k-8 private. Now, they are the big fish in the small pond. Many AP classes, high stats, athletics. They like their teachers, classes are challenging as well. School is highly segregated by the level of classes taken by students. I wish my kids shared classes with kids who have more difficult home lives. I think they would appreciate their privileged lifestyle a lot more. [/quote]

I graduated from Herndon in the 2000s and had a similar experience with the segregation in class level; however, I will say that I ended up taking a class here or there that wasn't at the hardest level when I could have, and the difference is night and day. We were hardly learning anything in the general classes, it was a joke. Your kid will end up taking several classes with the rest of the population, but if they can handle the honors/AP classes they should take them, because otherwise they're going to be seriously under-challenged.[/quote]
