[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've in LLIV; I wouldn't have picked it if the school didn't intend to use a "whole class" model for doing it. The kids are mixed in home room which includes lunch/SS and Science (supposedly "level 4" is being done for all kids in the grade for ss & science)/specials but level 4 has a whole class working at that level for LA and Math.

If they are simply pledging to great small groups within a mixed classroom for LA and Math, i'd head to the center since[b] it's hard to see how that will be much of an improvement over how advanced kids are handled in K-2.

This was our school's (LLIV) description of how the cluster model works there.  Seeing as my kid is on their own for math and LA challenge in 2nd (with a buddy for LA), I don't know how they do it better starting in 3rd.  And our 2nd grade class size is just enough to have an extra class with smaller classes, if we lose a few kids to the center, I can see dropping below the threshold for the extra class and pushing close to 30 kids in a class.
