[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The top kids at Bronx Science are at least on par if not academically more impressive than private school kids, not always but a lot of the time. Part of that podcast Zarna did, she and her husband discuss how her kids ERB scores at their private school were lower than their local public when they looked at them.

I didn’t take much away from the ERB scores because it is well known that public school can be more academic rigors in elementary school. There are incremental jumps in rigor at middle and high school that you will find parents complain that the school doesn’t prepare the students for.

It is more difficult to quantify how the soft skills and exposure to many niche subjects helped when arriving at Bronx Science, given the importance studying latin was to her college application.

To me the interesting part of was the cultural fit, fund raising, and how they couldn’t afford it anymore. With the husband being laid off and the wife needing to reinvent herself as a comedian. The reality of going to TT private school when you are not super wealthy. [/quote]
