[quote=Anonymous]OP, my kids at Brent were not encouraged to get ahead of their grade level in math, as of a couple of years ago. I admit that I may not have advocated for them correctly. Brent had a "fifth grade math for fourth graders" class maybe 5 years ago, but canceled it the year before pandemic (again, maybe it's back now, I don't know). Things may have changed now, as things tend to shift quickly, but you really should talk to current Brent families if you get a lottery spot, before enrolling. The one thing that may be different is that among families whose kids are not doing well in math, either parents step in or hire tutors. So in that sense it still may be a better atmosphere overall, but no effort was spent on encouraging advanced kids to push forward. Teachers told me several times that they are working on going "deeper," and my kid was bored, but luckily enjoyed being left alone and focused on reading. [/quote]
