[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter's private school stopped offering middle school prior to her 8th grade year.  We transitioned to Key for that year,  and she did very well. The first couple of weeks were tough because she had to learn new systems (google docs, using a school I'D, electronic homework submission,  etc.). Once she figured that out,  it was much better.  She enjoyed her classes and made some very good friends.  She participated in the Middle Years IB "prep" classes,  and she was challenged without being overwhelmed.  Her Years at Lee have been very positive. She is taking many challenging IB and honors courses which require her to think critically,  write cohesively/ thoroughly,  work with others who think differently than she does,  and consider multiple solutions.  The independent work she had been assigned has challenged her and helped her grow as a learner.  The small group assignments help her learn to compromise,  delegate,  and trust others.  She has been involved with sports,  and the lessons she has learned about working with other young ladies as a team will serve her well in the future.  Are the Lee students loud sometimes?  Yes. But I remember being loud (exuberant) as a teen,  too. They are good kids.  They are not perfect kids.  I know of no school with perfect kids.  Your child can thrive at Lee. He/ she will learn,  laugh and grow in so many ways.  Give Lee a chance. It's well worth it.  [/quote]

I’m the parent of a student at Saratoga elementary. My concern with Lee HS is how well does the school educate the average student? I’ve heard from parents of students who have taken honors and IB classes and done very well, but what if your child is a middle-of-the-pack student? What then?
