[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought I read that HB had fewer math levels than other Arlington schools but you should definitely verify that[/quote]

Yes.  Fewer AP offerings too.  The grade sizes are small (65-70 kids) and the kids are overwhelmingly alternative/quirky.  If your kid is more traditional and plays sports they won’t like it.  HB gets out too late to make it to home high school for sports.

I have heard from kids that came in at 9th that it was cliquey because most of the kids in their started in 6th grade.

Calling teachers by their first names is another weird thing.[/quote]

They can make it back to their home HS for sports.

I don't think the kids are that quirky/alternative anymore.  Nowadays so many APS parents try to get their kids in just for the small size to escape the regular overcrowded schools, so it's really much of the same kinds of students.[/quote]

That would be false.  It is still a very quirky student body, almost like it was hand selected.

You should go read the VA public board.  There is a new thread about HB.

AP classes are mixed with kids not in AP in addition to there being fewer offerings. [/quote]
