[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey folks, the underlying reason some DC privates eliminated APs classes was because they are desperate to show how they are different/better than public school (who score just as well, if not better than private schools). (Privates will not concede this, of course.)

It’s a really tough private school market, lots of schools competing for top students, lots of schools with empty seats. The problem will only worsen with families needing to move away due to job uncertainty in DC area.

The private school market is thriving and the acceptance rate at our private school is so low.

AP classes are just not impressive and available at your local concrete public school diploma factory.

If I wanted my kid to take a dozen or two of AP classes, I already know where to drop them off.[/quote]

Incorrect. It is well known within the private school community (nationally) that DC/MD/VA has more private schools seats than kids to take them. Don’t know why, but that’s the case. And the situation will likely be worse this year and next, with families fleeing the area due to job instability.[/quote]
