I don't agree that your kid is a "classic" for HB. His innate qualities will serve him well at any Arlington high school. I don't see that type of kid as the classic HB type at all. I think the HB model has the most value for the smart underachiever. JMO.

(Again, I feel the need to keep saying my kids don't go to HB.) [/quote]

Agree with this. I have a friend who teaches at HB. She always tells parents that HB isn't designed for kids who are self-guided. It is designed to help kids *become* self-guided.[/quote]

[b]Yet it's all of the over-achiever kids applying and getting spots[/b].  Please.[/quote]

My experience, with one exception, as well, and I have now witnessed this as my four DCs' peers entered the lottery. (We did not).  The once exception I am very familiar with is a student who, after the lottery, had a note from a psychologist saying attending the student's neighborhood middle school would cause/contribute to the student's mental health issues. I know of one other family in a similar situation who tried to transfer to HB that way and it did not work.[/quote]
