[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the school a pressure cooker? What if you have an average mediocre kid? Also, what about SN programs? Wondering if they have an autism program.[/quote] Actually, the school is not pressure cooker by the virtue of being a magnet school for primarily MC families. Any place that has magnet kids from W schools is usually high pressure because the wealthy W parents are super competitive. Yes, there are some great SN programs. Especially for the SN kid who do better in a cosy, bucolic and calm school. Its in the middle of nowhere and there is not too much noise, traffic etc around the school. Yes, there are average and mediocre kids who also do well because of the variety of courses offered that they can pick and choose. The learning environment is supportive and peers are willing to help each other or through tutoring help. Generally sweet, nerdy, sincere and polite kids. It is an extremely small town and people know each other, so students are polite and helpful. Teachers and counselors are also very supportive and happy to be at PHS. The fatigue that teachers have at other schools due to discipline problems, extreme achievement gap, uninvolved parents etc is absent and teachers can just teach. [/quote]
