[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the Challenge Index is very accurate when it comes to the private schools because of the intense focus on AP.[/quote] I think some of the leading private schools think that the intense focus on the AP is counterproductive BS. [/quote] Agreed. Many private schools see the AP courses for exactly what they are-mile wide, inch deep. This is why they offer the IB program. The heavy emphasis on AP occurs more commonly in public schools. It is all about bragging rights and keeping the parents and tax payers placated.[/quote] Many public schools also offer IB.[/quote]
