[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you're better off getting her some tutoring here and there and keeping her in public school so she rises in the ranks to those top 10 who go to the Ivy league colleges (depending on her inherent potential, obviously).

My kids were at a very high performing public HS in the DMV where they were probably in the top 25-30% only. By my DD's assessment they were each "run of the mill". We moved to California where they literally ranked within the top 10 students in a 600+ per grade HS on arrival. And they stayed in that in that category. Each got into all their high ranking colleges of choice.[/quote]

It's not insane.  Many parents in our public school use heavy tutoring on their kids.  Kids go to school during the day, and work with tutors in the night to achieve high stats.  They don't participate in school activities much.  Grades are very inflated 20% got straight As, so every one is competing for higher ranking by taking as many APs as possible.  That PP parent moved to a less competitive out of state public school to catch a break.  It's better for the kids.[/quote]
