[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don’t understand why it’s so hard for some of you to believe that many families send different kids to different schools with different levels of rigor. One at GDS and the other at Field? One at Walls and the other at JR? One at RMIB and the other at BCC? One at TJ and the other at … some neighborhood high school in FCPS?[/b] This sort of thing happens all the time.  And even when both schools are selective, as with two privates or two magnets, it is common for one to be more selective than the other. [/quote]

THIS.  It happens all the time.  I know twins who were split between Jackson Reed and Sidwell.  I had this dynamic in my own house for a few years (one twin in public, one in private) but we ended up moving twin 2 to a private for high school.  I know 2 other sets of twins who are split between a "Big3" private and another, lower tier private.  I know at least a dozen siblings who are split by public/charter and private (some Big3, some not).

Parents choose schools by fit.  They also let their kids have a say where they attend school by high school.  And there really isn't a "universally best option" out there. [/quote]

Is everyone dense today?  It’s not about sending kids to different schools it’s sending kids to one great school and sending the other kid to a school that in OP’s words “most kids get 1s and 2s”.[/quote]

well that would be the Jackson Reed and private split and there are a ton of parents who do that.

No it isn’t.  Most JR kids get a 3 or above (with more 4s and 5s than 3s).

So why would you post an outright lie?[/quote]

Most JR kids get a 3+ on at least one AP. But that “most” includes a kid who takes five APs and scores 1, 2, 2, 2, 3. [/quote]

By the way…the AP pass rate is now 73%.[/quote]
