[quote=Anonymous]It's hard to compare based on stats because some schools inflate grades and some deflate grades. The latter tend to be the top privates in the DC DMV, including Holton. I have no experience at a magnet school so no basis for comparison there. I will say that my DD's AP classes at Holton are not her most rigorous. Yes, there is a lot of reading, but the tests aren't necessarily as difficult. What the tutor posted earlier rang true--the top 25% or so of the class is impressive and doing high-level work. But the girls who are not up to that are challenged and met where they are...Holton does a very good job of that. I imagine at a magnet that perhaps a higher percentage of the kids are maxing out on the toughest classes.[/quote]
