[quote=Anonymous]Not to derail the thread, but kids who start at 4 or 5 and struggle academically get canceled out by HS. The ones who are doing well stay through HS, so it's not true that they're not as impressive. In fact, as someone who teaches in a competitive independent high school, my observation is that they often are better prepared because they've come up through the system and are used to meeting the school's high expectations. Even the talented students who come from less academically oriented K-8s do fine too, although the first year might be tougher for them than for those who come out of more traditional programs (Catholic, public, rigorous K-8s).[/quote]
