[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does this mean for the kids that stay for 4th and 5th grade? Are there fewer classes? Same number of classes with fewer kids? Does student morale drop? How does it impact teaching and academics?[/quote] Few families leave before 4th, and there are only a handful of OOB spots for that grade. 5th grade is just one class, down from several from K on up, but with two or even three full-time teachers. It's an adjustment for 5th graders who stay when most of their friends have left, but they adapt. Teaching and academics in 5th seem to have improved a lot in the years since Principal L came (she arrived in fall of 2017). 5th graders seem to thrive at Brent.[/quote]
