[quote=Anonymous]They need to create more special grade-specific milestones so students are looking forward to subsequent years and don’t want to miss out on the next milestone. Our kids attended a k-8 in another state that did a fantastic job of this—way fewer families left than generally leave our k-8 here. 6-8th graders especially need to have big leadership/independence opportunities different from the norm and notably better versions of popular electives (band, robotics, public speaking, service, newspaper, etc that are not just your average club). A big unique 8th grade trip is good as well. Separately they need to have differentiated math and language programs where kids can complete geometry and level 1 of a language by 8th.[/quote]
