[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the other departments? Are the math, science and language teachers strong? Ar they fair in their grading, or is this a school known for grade deflation and rigor to toughen them up before college?[/quote] We are disappointed and frustrated with English so far, but math, science, and language have been good. History has been ok—but it’s also just a tougher subject for my kid, nothing to do with the school. We are hoping that things will shift into a better balance with English classes and aren’t willing to jump ship over it yet. Overall the grading seems fair and I don’t believe there’s any goal to “toughen up” kids before college (what a weird concept—prepare, yes; toughen, really not what we’re looking for) or arbitrarily deflate (or, tbh, inflate) grades.[/quote]
