Princess’Dad - nice postings. Your experience resonates with my feelings about what works and what does not for each child. Instead of praising or excoriating any school in general, parents probably would do better to start from their own knowledge of the child, drawing on experience of others (family, friends, and especially good past teachers) then moving on to whether it even makes sense to contemplate a BS. Then narrow the group of potential schools carefully. For some, an aggressive filtering makes sense, for others, a large group of options may be more helpful.

And indeed, any able child will get in to a fitting college if she thrives in high school.

Q: is this a fact, or a paraphrase? That is, “accept” or “consider”?
