PP here.  The private schools my kids attend(ed) never "got rid of the classes."  The number of AP classes is just less than in public schools and start later.  Not sure what you mean about them being "expected to take the tests."

Another big difference is that students have to be approved by faculty to take any honors or AP classes, which keeps the classes on a high level.  My daughter knows quite a few students who were upset they were not approved for honors English for example.[/quote]

Admissions at the big privates for the unhooked are in the toilet.[/quote]

Nope. Just wonder over to the private school forum and peek at the Instagram links. It was a great year. [/quote]

Really? I did that and aside from URMs or hooked students it was a blood bath.[/quote]

Lots of students in my daughter's school got into top 20 schools without hooks.  Some with, of course.  Either way, the private schools prepare students better for college.  Kids from public schools these days are just not prepared anymore...sadly the pandemic worsened things.  [/quote]

Lots of students from public go to T20 also. But they have more unhooked kids and can't expel mediocre performers. [/quote]
