[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both Hammond and GW are very large (1500 students). GW has a signficantly lower FARMS% than Hammond-- but Hammond seems to have smaller classes (or at least not as overcrowded) and better scores. J-H and Patrick Henry both offer middle options that some folks like, but I've never seen a way to opt in at PH and J-H puts up some obstacles to transferring in. There doesn't seem to be any immediate plan to build capacity for middle schools, beyond opening PH a few years back. They've said the 2nd office building they bought at the Mark Center could be used for middle school when its not swing space, but that is 10 years down the road. [b]We've been told by quite a few people that kids should take honors classes as the "regular" are basically remedia[/b]l.[/quote] That's how all the white MC and UMC parents justify the terrible schools. Their kids are "safe" from the horrific violence. It's segregation. [/quote]
