[quote=Anonymous]My kids transferred from DCPS to Big3 schools (two different ones) in 9th grade. One graduated in the top 10 kids in their class and is now at a top 10 university and the second is on target to do so. It's definitely possible to do this. We are nobody special and our kids are smart but not genius or prodigy level or anything like that. We didn't do any supplementation throughout elementary or middle school (we're really not tiger parents at all--we left for private because our inboundary high school is really lacking.) The first semester of 9th grade was a major step up but we watched their grades very carefully and had tutors ready to go. After that they were on their own and just took off. They fit in super well socially. That was not an issue at all. The left (or are leaving) with life-long friendships. Our story is not everyone's story but there are plenty of families like us out there. [/quote]
