I agree but I think it is 5 levels. Some 8th graders are taking Algebra 2 in a high school class. The rest are one Geometry Honors class, one Algebra I Honors class, one Algebra I (non-honors) and one pre-algebra class. I think that is pretty segregated and aggressive for math. They have the perk of having all 3 school levels under one roof and will move the kids for math if needed. I just assumed other private schools did this too. They also have after-school clubs for Coding and Robotics for middle schoolers.
In high school they offer a STEM scholars program.
We picked this school because TJ is too far from us, and we are not fond of Blair as a whole. We like the all-girls school environment for a girl in STEM since the boys seem to out-number girls immensely and that is why girls (as a whole) start to shy away from the STEM focus. I didn't want that to happen to my daughter and so far she still loves it.
