[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son likes it and is doing very well. The advanced kids are grouped together so there is less behavior problems in those classes. So far, so good.[/quote]

Thanks....do they group for ALL subjects, or just for English, Foreign Language and Math? 
Ie, are Social Studies and Science not tracked?

[/quote]  Um, I think this is completely false.  They designate certain courses as "advanced" for the entire school, but there is no ability grouping by class.  The only wy you might see that is in certain math classes (i.e., kids taking Geometry in middle school might are, of necessity, going to be advanced) and kids in the Spanish immersion classes have a higher level of Spanish.  Other than that, no grouping.

We think it's a great school and have not observed that the overcrowing is worse than any other MPCS classroom that our kids have been in.  I think that aspect, while a pain for the administrators I'm sure, doesn't have a huge effect on the kids.[/quote]
