[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, I may be in a similar school district and the regular classes are a mess with a certain percentage of kids who have no ability to focus on the class let alone do their work.

Our middle school doesn't have honors class now so, my kids are very familiar with these children having had to endure the disruptions in middle school.

It was a relief for them to get to high school where there was honors and see a somewhat better cohort. Is every class perfect? Of course not, but it's significantly better.

OP, I'm not sure if this mirrors your district, but it's something worth considering.

Yes this is exactly what I am trying to understand. 
Our MS actually informally tracks kids it seems (and there is formal tracking in math), so my kid doesn’t seem to have that problem. I am not sure if the high school has a consistent remedial track or if remedial kids are in Gen Ed classes. 
My son is slated to take Algebra 2 in 9th so hopefully it will be ok even without the H. But then, I guess biology H is a good idea?[/quote]
