[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is really into anything math, science, and tech related. He does have a slight interest in tennis and golf, but otherwise isn't sporty. He likes running around outside to blow off steam, but won't willingly participate in a game of pick up sports. He's into Legos and video games as well. He's a mostly A student and quiet and introverted. He's overwhelmed by the sheer number of students at public school and prefers to be in an environment where people want to learn and be respectful(not get in trouble). SAAS is on our list as well. One non-negotiable on our list is that the school must have a sizable minority population. We are looking for middle school at the moment, but may reevaluate for high school, if needs and wants change. [/quote]

Neither this is an absurd question

Neither of those schools would be good for your student from a stem pov

If you must no question STA

Landon stem no there are not enough good students in math or the curriculum to be very successful in college [/quote]

STA has fantastic STEM.  They routinely offer math 3-4 levels beyond BC calculus for the tiny handful of boys who need it.  They had boys admitted to Stanford, Princeton, and Cambridge to specifically study math this past year (and probably the best college admissions overall among DMV privates).  Science courses are also great.

It's a very hard admit but worth applying to. we've had kids at 3 DMV schools, we're not fancy people and STA is our favorite school by far.  [/quote]
