[quote=Anonymous]After looking carefully at the courses for my rising 9th grader, it appears to me that Wilson offers an "honors" level class for Freshman English and Biology, and math and a second language at flexible levels. The big question is History. I believe all students are required to take World History, for which I see no honors class. Since 40% of Wilson students are reading below grade level, does this mean that my DS is taking the first two years of history in a classroom where close to half of his classmates are not reading proficiently? I was surprised by this because the school offers a really impressive array of AP classes in social sciences and history. I wonder how well students can be prepared for those upper level classes if the first two years are by necessity working at a remedial level. Anyone have personal experience of this situation which they can share?[/quote]
