so you might as well throw any school in there. If you think a student with all A's at Einstienor any other school you are going to go where you want if you have the scores to match.

and btw i went to Whitman


It's one thing to get an A on an individual paper or assignment assigned by a teacher. It's another to be in a class of academically inquisitive and challenging peers.


there are kids romm all the schools in the county that go to tops schools. But I will add this about whitman, they have a destress time for kids built into the day, sorry but i would nto put my kid in a school that has that part fo the day. i would rather have a b student without the stress than an a harvard bound kid that needs to be destressed everyday.

The most important thing to me is class size. I don't know if there's any place to get classes smaller than 20 other than at privates.

What makes a school "acceptable"? As a general rule, all of the Mont. schools are acceptable. Algebra is algebra no matter where you take it. What are you looking for?

You mean by DCUM standard and not limiting a child's furture choice of colleges?

OP here. Thanks for the info! I did try to search, but a lot comes up when you type in "three w".

RM gets pulled up academically by the IB magnet program. The general school is not considered on par with the Ws but is still a good school.
