[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love PHS. The SMACS program is great fit for my kid. The vibe is not pressure cooker like. Students are nice to each other and super-supportive. The teachers by and large are well-organized and effective.  It certainly is more chilled than other magnets and W schools - more like a cross between an academics focused college and Mayberry.  :lol:  Its a small school (1,400 students), and I realize that there is a great benefit in having a smaller population in the school. Small enough for everyone to be friendlier, large enough to have momentum for all activities.

Would I want to live there? No.  But that's because I like where I live.  I do have several friends who live there and they love it.[/quote]

I've never heard someone in SMACs say its not pressure cooker.  My DD is in Global and even that's a stressful program.[/quote]

High school is more rigorous for  all students, isn't it? It is a long day and late nights occur frequently, buy it is not pressure cooker in the same way RMIB is. At least for the first two years. 
 
 Could it be that students coming in from MS Math/Sci program adapt easier than others to the program rigor? Was your DD in a STEM magnet program in ES and MS?
