[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because FHS accepts widely resulting in a large range of academic abilities. This makes it very similar to a public school. Other schools in the area cater to kids who excel academically which makes them more "elite".

Take that for what you will. We applied to FHS. I then realized that it was very similar to our local public and figured that I'd save the money. [/quote]

This is it. As a result, teachers must cater to a less academically minded students. Those who work hard to do well and go above and beyond get left behind and, as in many such environments, left to fend for themselves if they want something beyond the basics. This is available at the local well-rated public schools and is not worth the extremely high tuition.[/quote]

No that is absolutely not true. They don’t cater..my kid works harder than she did in public and comparing to her former classmates goes deeper.  No do overs, no extensions, no catering to pass as many kids as possible with high gpas. My kid is college ready. Can write, do tests that are not multiple choice. It’s an elitist thing but only so many can be in the club. Oh and BTW most of my kids teachers have masters or doctorates. [/quote]
