[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We would choose one where the HS is NOT high performing (e.g., not Oakton, Langley, Mclean). Our kids will do well in any HS. They likely will be closer to top of the class at a mundane HS (because less competition) and that will help with college admissions. Most people on DCUM will disagree with this. [/quote] Eh, I wouldn't put too much weight on your theory. At the end of the day, your kid is still an "FCPS grad" and colleges have plenty of over-acheiving "FCPS grads" to choose from. Also, I'd take a close look at the courses offered at the lower (mundane) HS verses higher achieving one's. Not sure you can get the same academic vigor .[/quote] Generally IB programs are offered and IB diplomas are more difficult to obtain and carry more weight. The high performing kids generally take the IB courses.[/quote]
