[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in almost the same situation. I think in MS and HS the kids are separated out by Gen. Ed and Honors. Those who are behind or those who don't want to excel will most likely not be in Honors, so there will be a separation there. I don't remember having to deal with many kids like that in MS and HS because we were always in different classes and specials. In higher poverty MSs, I've noticed fewer academically enriching after school activities and wondered why since there are high achieving students there. Why aren't there more options for them?[/quote] The county spends more money per student on higher poverty schools than low-poverty schools, but there are fewer students interested in academic clubs and fewer parent volunteers. The difference in the strength of extra-curricular programs persists all the way through HS. [/quote]
