Then you can the academic manager and tutor for your kid to help provide the [b]differentiation they will not receive[/b] at a school where managing discipline and simply passing the SOLs is the priority of the teachers and administration [/quote]

Lower GS high schools schools in this area offer programs like IB, AP and/or Honors classes, just as the higher GS schools do.  [/quote]

At least in name.  The performance on AP and IB exams varies widely among area schools. [/quote]

Of course.  It's pretty well-established that income impacts performance on standardized tests.[/quote]

Lower income school districts have lower average GPAs as well.  The high school grade inflation epidemic has largely been at higher income public schools. Income levels are also correlated with IQ scores.   (Wealth is less correlated, high income people tend to spend to their income levels.)  Heritability for IQ is quite high as well, meaning smart parents are more likely to produce smart kids.  The rush to get rid of standardized tests is silly in my view.  Nothing else in admissions is standardized.  [/quote]

It’s amazing how if you actually show up for class and turn in the homework you actually might get credit. Of course the GPAs are higher. [/quote]
