From what I've observed, the rush to finish APs a year early puts downward pressure on learning, retention of knowledge and enjoyment for most students, adding to the pressure cooker environment too many high-powered high schools have become.

Personalized college advice is very nice, but you can hire a college coach, avail of on-line and free local college clinics, or even advise your own student if you wish (after doing the requisite admissions research), rather than jeopardizing the learning by jamming in APs like mad before senior year.[/quote]
New poster. My DS attended Basis for 2 years then to private.  I and DS really appreciated Basis but DH wanted him at private for HS.  So I can tell you that private school college counseling service is far better than hiring somebody.  The school has four years of experience with the kids and “package” them, in a way a by-the-your coach can’t.  If Basis does that it’s a great thing.  Sorry we didn’t get that for free![/quote]
