[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your goal is simply Ivy, then save your cash, send your kid to a regular high school where they can be the superstar of their class.[/quote] You are way underestimating how hard it is to be "the superstar" at a public high school, especially in the DC area.[/quote] Enroll in Jackson-Reed. It's not hard at all to get a 4.5 GPA and carve a nice extracurricular niche in time for college admissions. [/quote] The problem with Jackson-Reed is that even the kids who do "well" in college admissions get to college without really knowing how to write a term paper or a good essay. Actual teaching is uneven to poor. The amount of written work expected is minimal, and teacher feedback is even more so. Sad.[/quote]
