That is very interesting bearishgurl because I thought just the opposite was true – ie; most of the transfer programs give priority to the lowest achievers not the “cream of the crop” as you say.
I recall looking at this a few years ago when LJ was still a contender as a place to raise the family. I will try to find that info. Do you have a link to a source that shows only the cream of the crop are offered these opportunities? Thanks.
I am also fairly certain that there was a study performed in the last decade that attempted to track academic performance of the transfer set and that there was essentially no change in scores, but I don’t have the data, I’m sure it exists somewhere.
Keeping with the original intent of this thread, I still don’t see any basis to support the idea that the LJ public schools can match those in CV or the other top areas.
