[quote=Anonymous]Does your child go to a school with a local CES? What percentage of the schools' 4th and 5th graders are in the CES? My child's school recently got a local CES that has expanded to two 4th grade classrooms, or roughly 20% of the 4th grade class. This has had an impact on the culture of the school and the attitude of the kids (and parents). Many kids are feeling left behind (some kids on the waitlist tested in the upper 90th percentile) and parents are frustrated. To my knowledge, the administration has never addressed the schools' parents or students about this change, or done anything to try to maintain a feeling of community, or a culture of excellence for everyone, when there are now 2 distinct groups at the school.

My question is, if your kid goes to one of these schools, has the administration found a way to address concerns of parents whose non-CES kids aren't receiving challenging material? Or deal with kids calling their non-CES peers dumb? It feels like there's a bizarre social experiment going on at my kids' school and it needs to be addressed. Any advice or information on how to deal with this would be appreciated!
