[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is on the "wait list" for a science class they need for their planned major for college.  In the spring when they registered, they did not realized they needed this science class and selected a different science class.

They recognized their error in early May as they started looking more at colleges and have been on the wait list since then.

The school has a waitlist of at least 10 students for this class.  I was hoping the school would create another section - but as of now, they are telling the students to find an online class and take it and drop a class from their schedule.

Is this typical?  I would expect this from DCPS - but surprised it is coming from a Private HS

You are kidding right?

Private HS are no where near as academic as public. Most do not have even close to the same offerings.

Only parochial schools.  Topntier privates have MUCH more to offer for college bound kids - I say this because our school does not offer shop or driver's ed the way my public school did.[/quote]

There are no parochial high schools in the DC area.

If you are using parochial as a pejorative for independent Catholic schools, I will say that St. Anselms can compete head on with any private school in the region for rigor.  [/quote]
