[quote=Anonymous][quote]Our experience with elementary and middle school magnets, that while the challenge is increased, it is still not much of a challenge for DC. Also, particularly in middle school, classes are large and academic focus is still relatively weak, especially when considering across the board. Socially, the magnet kids are increasingly viewed by the whole school body as geeks or nerds. While DC is OK with this, and within the magnet the social environment is supportive, it's not the kind of environment I'd hoped to have DC in. In sending our DC to boarding school, I would hope to gain smaller classes, real in-depth support/mentorship in academics, strong academics across the board (i.e. math/science and humanities), and an environment where smart kids are seen as cool. [/quote] Andover Mom again. I would share your assessment. And child got just what you described at boarding school.[/quote]
