my child is a hard working child , who eventually wants to become a physician, right now she has two choices to go into two different high schools
First school is the second best public school in Houston ( Debakey) , which attracts students who eventually want to go into medicine , its every competitive, kids are sleeping at 2am in 11/12 grade each night to maintain their GPA and get good scores.
The second is a public IB school ( Lamar) with a diverse city population and average education and teaching , where its a lot easier to come in the top 5% getting adequate sleep at night , the students really have to be self motivated to do well in this school .
Comparing both scenario with the final goal being entering into a " good college" and "eventually medical school", which is better pathway ----
A. getting a good education , but really busting themselves to stay in top 5%- 10 % in an academically challenged school or
B. going to a not so good school ( supplementing the education via private tutors /doing SAT prep etc ) and being a lot easier to stay in top 5%
really will appreciate the feedback !!!
