[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid is lifer at a big3. Entering 8th in September and we are starting to realize staying for high-school may give a good education but will seriously harm college chances (especially as school is highly selective, has not kept up with grade inflation elsewhere, and when other schools have many graduating at ABOVE 4.0).

APs and 4.0+ can help in getting past initial screens in bigger schools like UCLA - that our school can rarely get kids into.

We love the school experience otherwise but not willing to sacrifice college chances just because “only so many from one school can go T20”.  Safety, access to varsity team participation, and teacher ratio all are factors that nudge us personally away from transfer to local public.

What is the best.private school in DC area that still offers AP classes and gives out grades at a level equivalent to public schools?

Thanks in advance for sincere advice.[/quote]

Your rational for switching schools is misguided. If your kid is thriving, has friends and is engaged in activities, then switching because of your perception around college admissions is misplaced.[/quote]
