Homeschool Science - High School Curriculum Choices

A simple comment from a well-meaning friend can make you question your own judgment.  With science curriculum, as with all curriculum, it's more about what fits your child that what others are using or recommend.

"I am struggling with choosing a high school science curriculum.  My problem is that I hear things from just a few people that make me doubt my choices. Is there some source that homeschoolers can check out that compares science curriculum and how well the kids do in college science?  What did you choose for your boys?"

Mary, I chose the books by Jay Wile. I'm a huge fan, my son did great through electrical engineering school and graduated cum laude with his electrical engineering degree. Directly out of high school he got straight A's in physics in college, and frequently referred to his high school physics and chemistry books during his first year. I'm a HUGE fan of those books, even for my non-Christian clients (they can skip one chapter and be just fine.)
