[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it is lying. People genuinely have different experiences. I have more than one boy at the school, and though they had the same classes with the same teachers, they did not put in the same amount of time. Kids have different study habits, reading speeds, levels of perfectionism, and work at different paces. Over time, they get better at processing information faster as they develop strung study habits.

However, it is correct that the school is known for having more work - they have a longer day, more classes, and no block schedule, so daily work in most classes. There is no "lower track" of classes to drop down to if you are struggling. This is a very different model from other schools that take a more leisurely pace, have fewer classes per semester, and multiple tracks for classes. This is what the school is known for academically. But that rigor doesn't translate into a uniform number of hours of work for each student: some kids do more, some less; some work faster, some slower.[/quote]
