[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I’ll add if you have a student that is driven and smart, they can succeed at a number of schools. I went to gang infested middle school where some peers were pregnant in 8th grade. Probably 25% performing. There was no school choice. It was either that school or private which was not an option. Not only did I succeed, I excelled and got into one of the top magnets in the state. The school (teachers and admin) weren’t bad, they did what they could with the student population that had. They knew who the serious students were and they made sure we got what we want scholastically and socially. Try to check out your IB, see if they have advocates within the building. You may be surprised.[/quote]

Did your school have honors courses?

I attended a similar school with similar problems. Yet it still offered differentiated instruction/honors classes so I had the opportunity to excel and not get lost in the shuffle. The MS my child will be attending doesn't offer that. I have no idea how she will do. I am hopeful but nervous.[/quote]
