[quote=Anonymous]The quality--and the caliber/difficulty of academics--of students at all private schools has gone down, and almost all of the schools are 20-70 allowed students, under their special exceptions, etc. as permitted from/by the counties/DC.    They are looking for students, so getting in is jot as hard as it once was--nor is staying in.  The curriculum has been dumbed down at most as a result.  Most of the schools don't let you see what grades/scores their students get on AP standardized testing--a usual indicator that they don't want you to know that a 2 is the typical score for students who took their schools AP class, and amazingly got an A...ASK to see the scores, if you are looking for a rigorous school, and if they refuse to show any, or only partial class results (the top scorers) or don't show ALL AP classes, or if they have actually stopped requiring students who take AP classes to even take the APs--that tells you a LOT about the dumbing down...   It is no surprise that so many colleges won't give credit to incoming students with straight A's in AP classes...so many are bogus.[/quote]
