[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a small Southern town.  Today, my HS is 75% FARMs.  My HS offered 2 AP classes: Lit and Calc AB. My year, I was the only student to pass either one. By senior year, I was driving to the community college for classes because my HS was out— 45 minutes each way during the school day.

More kids enlisted than went to a 4 year college, and no one in my graduating class left the state for college. The level of instruction was very, very poor.

DH had the same experience at a different HS in a different small town.

Why in the world would we want our kids in one if these environments. [/quote]

We had 1 AP, taught very poorly. No one taught for the years I was there ever got above a 3. [/quote]

I grew up in a rural town in the northeast with a very similar experience.  The community College was only 20 min away but the high school classes were more advanced (which is saying something). There was an article about NYC residents moving to small towns upstate.  Almost all liberal and progressive and were sending their kids to private schools. [/quote]
