<p>^^I agree that they can’t guarantee entry into the top schools or Ivies. I hope that it is the learning environment that attracts students. I know this is not the motivation of many students/parents but I think that BS attract more overachievers and motivated students. I am not naive to think this is 100 percent. I just think on average this is truer in BS environment vs a top public HS. Someone needs to start a dictionary explaining all of the abbreviations. Thanks for the information.</p>
