[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the top rated schools would have successful students even if the kids did not attend. Parents in this area are educated and wealthy and provide nearly everything students need. I’m quite sure my kids’ school has done little to educate my kids who read a lot outside of school and rarely encounter material that is new for them in school. Yet the school has high ratings, high SATs, etc. the school is a dysfunctional disaster that FCPS touts as one of its best. [/quote] I agree. We moved our kid from private school to FCPS HS. She told us that she knew much more at the beginning of the 9th grade than at the graduation from HS. She got to top colleges, including some Ivy Leage schools that our HS never sent students before. So, her SAT, GPA, college admission definitely reflected well on school ranking. But did this school contributed a lot to that? Absolutely not![/quote] So why do you and PP above even send your kids to school? free day care? Maybe you should just have them apply directly to college since high school isnt adding anything to their lives! :lol: [/quote]
