<p>mini: LOL But…at my kids’ private schools (which requires the passing of an entrance exam) all the kids are above average. They would not have been admitted otherwise.</p>
<p>When kids attend a true “college prep” school which requires the following then the entire graduating class is going to be “above average”.
4 years of Math (all real math classes - no general math or easy math)
4 years of Science (Bio, Chem, Physics, AP bio or AP chem)
4 years of English
4 yeas of Social Science
3 years of Foreign language
plus a variety of PE, Fine Arts, Health, Computer Science,etc</p>
