[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty sure that any kid who takes a slate of 4-5 APs or is in an IB program is going to face more rigor than at HA. My kid is in a magnet and we know several kids at HA. One of the HA kids had to do a summer "bridge" program at DC's Ivy. The PP at 15:38 who allowed that "maybe" the magnets are "on par" with Holton cracks me up. [/quote] In my experience the kids from top privates are more well prepared for and have better college and career outcomes than the magnet school kids. There may an explanation, but I don't know why. The APs in many public schools are a joke (as reflected by the test scores), but magnets do take the academics seriously - they just haven't figured out the balance part yet. [/quote]
