[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Previous poster.  
Unlike publics, GDS (and similar schools) have a responsibility/goal to place ALL their graduates in reasonably competitive colleges. 
A public school guidance office does not.  They know that the lowest 25% (or 50% or even 75% in  some places) will not attend college or will attend community college
or will attend a non-competitive college.  They are not focused on spreading the admits across a class.

GDS has to do this or else they royally pi$$ off the lowest 50% of families and probably cease to exist as a school in a few years.  [/quote]

GDS parent. I agree w/ this. Is GDS even releasing matriculation by student any more in their end of senior year materials? I do wonder if they are making it tough for prospective 9th grade entry parents to see what's happening

i have a feeling CCO and Russell will get an earful this year on the cap, the AP policy, and the lack of numeracy of CCO - I'm aware of multiple kids in to 20% ish of class, academic stars who were shut out of top 30-40 US schools. Whether they actually listen is what I always wonder. [/quote]
