You tell me one public school on LI just one that does the workload Chaminade does ??? And by the way you do bad in a class you fail no matter how good you are in a sport or how friendly your parents are with the teachers. They don't push you through or pad grades so they can get an award or win games
Overall the curriculum is weak at Chaminade. They create a rigorous schedule but its not challenging at all and does in no way prepare you for the rigorous college curriculum you face at some the elite schools. Many students who take AP in public schools will actually be using the same text books as they do in college. There are plenty of schools on LI that offer a much more difficult and advanced education experience. Jericho, Manhasset, Wheatly, Syosset, and Great Neck South, and CSH just to name a few. Look at graduating class and the numbers that go to Ivy and Elite institutions. Remember they are working with the pool of students that is dealt them based on the boundaries of their borders. Unlike the Catholics like Chaminade that have the luxury of having students from all over attend. Chaminade isn't for everyone and either are publics. To stand on a podium and try and preach how elite your school just exposes and allows for people to use facts and data to back up what they are saying.
