[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, do some kids stay and repeat a grade? It seems slightly shocking a public charter could say they have to leave, especially if not given an explicit waiver for running more of an admissions based school.[/quote] Yes, some students stay and repeat a grade if they do not pass a class. There are several every year who do this. To advance to the next grade, students must pass EVERY class, both the class itself and the comprehensive exams that take place at the end of the year in 6th/7th/8th. If students don't pass a class, they have the summer to make it up if they wish, and then (I believe) take the exam again at the end of the summer. [/quote]
