[quote=Anonymous]Elementary school switcher here. It was like night and day in terms of the peer group and the willingness of the school to challenge and teach advanced material. We had good teachers in both, but they were limited in our Title I SA school in terms of not having a strong group of advanced learners to work with and having very large remedial groups. Did not at all feel our NA elementary school was a "pressure cooker." I've never heard that about an Arlington elementary. Maybe Science Focus is? It was just fun and challenging in a supportive elementary school kind of way. Can't speak to the differences in middle and high yet. I could imagine the middle and highs could have pressure from competitive peers and parental expectation. And you might see a difference between NA and SA there.[/quote]
