DP. So the small cohort ends after 9th grade then the kids are thrown into the mix together? Wow.

FWIW I have the “interesting” kid who is NOT shy and I get greeted with big grins from the security guard on up with “OH you are LARLO’S mom!” … it is a mixed blessing and sometimes wish I had the kid no teachers had reason to know! Trust.

I think smaller cohorts would probably be good for both types of kids - my kid who benefits from adults who can really get to know him warts and all; and the quieter kids who need more attention.

HB, like thats a option.

Maybe AT, but its growing fast and changing radically over the next few years. And its best geared for those aiming for VT or similar.

Keep telling yourself that. My child's friend just go into a STEM program at an ivy from AT. And the Sr. class has only what, 100 kids?

I think PP meant it was for STEM kids?

Have some personal responsibility OP. You and your kid.

The best skill your kid will learn in a large APS high school is to advocate for themselves.

Who is going to pay the teachers to stay after school to tutor? Its a conflict of interest first of all and second, they have grading for hundreds of students. Your student us not the first quiet ADHD kid to make it through WL.

Very on brand for AT placement, with its Duel Enrollment and very hands on curriculum.

A single Ivy placement could be any number of independent hooks.

Keep telling yourself that. It's a 7 yr old program and this class, of 100, is it's largest ever. On Insta I just watched a girl at Columbia in engineering; a 2023 grad when the class size was even smaller. But go ahead. Keep s-talkin' the school. Says a lot about you while my kid is getting a fantastic education with great teachers and they all seem to be having fun too.
