[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is directly related to the earlier post about top tier privates. The reason "middling" kids get in to top colleges from these schools is that colleges know that they are prepared. Many public schools are a different story.[/quote] This. My kid had a nearly 100% average in math in mcps middle school. His private high school placement test had him repeat algebra freshman year…and we quickly got him a tutor to help him keep up. Long story short: mcps math is a joke. [/quote] Gonzaga? My son had to retake Algebra in 9th and he said it was the best thing he ever did. He made it to AP Calc AB by 12th and took AP Stats as an elective. I don’t understand the rush to get the highest level of math at some of these schools. Putting 6th graders in Algebra is ridiculous.[/quote]
