[quote=Anonymous]My daughter attended CMIT Academy for all three years of middle school. She was placed in the highest level class. I would give them a B- as a grade. Why? She did not learn much in her algebra 1 class due to having a substitute teacher for the majority of the school year. This is a major problem for a STEM school. We paid for a math tutor to fill the gaps.  She also complained about a few of the classes having a zoo like environment because the teacher could not control the students. We paid for a Geometry tutor because the kids talked so much in class that my child said she could not learn in her Geometry classroom. Well, my daughter made it into Eleanor Roosevelt  High School Science and Tech program so I guess CMIT was ok for her. Now my son was a total different experience. He is an average student and his test scores reflect that he was on grade level for sixth grade. CMIT put him in the lowest level which is where they will put your child who is doing well with ON GRADE LEVEL WORK. He was treated like a second class citizen.  The expectations were quite different between the highest and lowest level classes.  He had an incompetent science teacher but a fantastic math and RELA teacher. But please keep in mind that a lot of the students in his class were not serious about school and may be below grade level. This is a problem if your child is an average student  but placed in the same class with below grade level students. And for those who may be skeptics, my son actually had an IQ test along with a full psycho educational test done in November of his 6th grade year and his IQ is slightly above average. He is no dummy but was treated like one. We removed him from CMIT midyear.
