[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rigor increases a bit in high school but most kids we know who chose Burke did so because they didn't want rigor. It's a feature, not a big of the school. [/quote] There's plenty of rigor, just not the accompanying pressure that you see at other schools that you must pile your schedule full to get said rigor. I say this as parent with a grad and a current student. When your child enters HS they can make it as demanding as they would like. I have had kids at a couple areas MS, generally this is not an age group where the HW load is huge (nor should it be). The last month of Burke was really out of its control and I, for one, think they have handled it incredibly well under the circumstances, I'd give them a pass if the end of the year is a bit easier![/quote]
