My Daughter attends a highly rated public school - something like #9 in the country and #3 in the state.
Their standards are pretty high and classes fairly rigorous academically.
We have relatives whose children attend other schools whose academics are not as high who have GPA's higher than my DD.
I know for certain that these kids are not better academically than her.
I switched schools my junior year and went from a C student to an A student overnight, So I know there is disparity.
So my question is; Do colleges take into consideration the school that the recruit is attending or is that GPA number the number?
I know they also look at SAT, ACT's and other standardized test scores.
So... my real question is Should we move out of the good school district now and in to a poorly performing one so my daughter has a higher GPA?
