[quote=Anonymous]I would love to get some feedback from parents with kids at Stuart Hobson right now. My kid is at a feeder and totally sold on it. Ambivalent on the Latins and is actively opposed to BASIS. (The only information she has on those schools comes from kid word of mouth - mostly driven by friends' older siblings. She has the same sources of information about Stuart, but also some more direct experience from feeder events, open houses, etc.) The principal sells the school as fun in contrast to some of the charter alternatives and the extracurriculars (especially in the arts, which my kid loves) seem genuinely amazing. I think my kid would have a great time. A much better time than my kid would have at at least one of those charters. But... what are the academics really like? My kid is bright, but not particularly independently driven. The more the school emphasizes how manageable the workload is, the more I worry that's code for it's really easy/not challenging. I think math would be fine with the acceleration path, but what about ELA? What about the other core classes (science, social studies)? Could a kid come out of Stuart and be prepared for a good private school? (Obviously Walls would be great, but can't remotely be counted on.) [/quote]
