<p>your son went to VA???</p>
<p>Yes (I have five), one of them went to VA for a few years. They have a terrific learning center with tutors from <a href=“http://www.landmark.edu/[/url]”>http://www.landmark.edu/</a> Landmark College in nearby Putney Vt.
It was perfect for him at the time. A BS with normal sports/kids and a great learning center. He is going to SMU next year.</p>
<p>My sons’ HS education:</p>
<p>Harvard-Westlake
VA
Salisbury
and next fall …ST.PAUL’S!!!
I have two little ones still at home.</p>
<p>All my kids are different. In other words they won’t all fit into the same BS. There is a BS out there for everyone.</p>
<p>sarum: that’s a lot of tuition! impressive! are you warren buffett’s son? btw, good luck with sps. my father and my sister went there and maybe me next year!</p>
<p>Thanks! I’m sure he will do fine.</p>
<p>funny, sarum!!!</p>
<p>The “average” SSAT or SAT of a school really does not matter. ALL schools will have students much higher and much lower than their average - that’s why it’s an average.<br>
As many of us have stated before, your best chances of being accepted (and with FA if needed) is to apply to schools where you ARE ABOVE their average.<br>
EVERY school will have classes that will challenge you. If they offer honors and/or AP, then don’t worry about it. All that matters is what YOU do. Not what the other students do.</p>
