[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP there is no private that has better accelerated math than public.

No comparison at all.[/quote]

meh - our kids took multivariable, linear algebra and number theory after taking BC Calc at their private school. They could have also taken differential equations. I don't see accelerated public math students going much further.

the science/engineering side is a totally different story though.[/quote]

He must have come in for 9th grade then or been heavily taught outside of the school for k-8.

My coworkers kid was the same- got in everywhere plus Blair magnet program and chose the private he felt he fit in the best. He worked very hard and did very well there. [/quote]

They were lifers. Some kids who came in later were more accelerated. I think public schools are definitely more invested in acceleration. If you want your kid to take pre calc in 9th grade and think that is a “better” curriculum then you should go public. More kids will move faster through the different levels of math than private school generally. But that wasn’t something we valued. They went far enough in math at a reasonable pace. [/quote]
