Move them to private asap

Not always the best move. If you’re in a town with high home values they will have better resources and more knowledge teachers who specialized in certain areas of education.

And don’t assume the kids who take all APs have a high IQ. Most of them would be average to high-average IQs. They have above average organizational skills, study skills, work ethics. They will skip a party if they haven’t completed homework.
