[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In these high schools, there are a lot of kids (gifted included) working hard for Bs. If your child does not like homework, etc, please don’t put him in one of these environments. You say you’re fine with Bs but not working hard and not staying organized will result in Cs and Ds, not Bs. There’s a lot that goes into academic success at that level besides iq. Maybe being around a different peer group will change his perspective, but if that’s who he is he is going to be very unhappy in a place like St. Albans, Potomac, etc. I think it is great that you’re giving all of this a lot of thought! 7th grade is a much better time to try this environment out to see if he grows into it, rather than 9th.
