[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to be able to dictate what classes (and levels) your kid can and can't take, you should stick with public. In my experience, the popular DC Catholics don't like to accelerate.[/quote] It depends on the math placement, HSPT and middle school grades. My son was in algebra 1 for 8th grade. He did well on the HSPT and the math placement so Gonzaga placed him Geometry/Pre-Calc for 9th, Calc AB for 10th. He just wrapped up Calc BC for 11th, skipping Alegbra 2 altogother. He didn't get the best test grades in the class but held his own (and not the worst) and was recommended for Linear senior yr. Accerated math tracks are carefully assigned to prevent failure and affect confidence. Accelated programs have many moving parts. And I agree, anyone parent who *makes strong suggestions* to a school regarding what classes they deem fit for their child won't get very far in some private schools. Stick with public.[/quote]
