[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of HB and non-HB grads, I think it's absurd that people on this thread accept as fact that HB is less rigorous. Not consistent with my experience. The number of students going to prestigious colleges is not because HB students have an easier time. They have to ultimately get the same high scores that anyone else does who wants to get into elite schools. HB has sent multiple students to Harvard and MIT in recent years, and those schools aren't letting anyone in who doesn't get top marks on standardized tests.

Students prone to slacking may find it pretty easy to do so at HB, but so too do exceptional students find ways to bring their achievement to the next level.[/quote]

1.  Both MIT and Harvard were briefly test optional.
2.  Of course there are smart kids at HB who can ace the SAT/ACT.  That is not what is being discussed here.  
3.  What is your take on the combined AP/non-AP classes and the lower AP exam scores?  How does this demonstrate the equal rigor of HB?[/quote]

What's weird that you're trying to spin the combined classes as some advantage. They are not. Believe me. [/quote]
