[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me give it to you straight. Swanson is a way better school. That being said all the middle schools in Arlington suck. They are not rigorous at all and barely prepare you for high school. [/quote]

Agree that Swanson is a much better school. My son went to Swanson and is doing very well at W-L now. Two friends who are at W-L with him went to Kenmore, and they were completely unprepared for the rigor of high school. Yes, Kenmore is a nicer building, but I really don’t care about that. [/quote]

Yeah sure. It couldn’t possibly be anything to do with the individual students. The curriculum and amount of rigor, or lack there of, is not different at the MS level. It’s just not. Parents can blame the schools, but that doesn’t make it so. [/quote]

There are dramatic differences between the various middle schools in APS. The curriculum is the same purportedly, but the amount of rigor is not.[/quote]

You make no sense. If the curriculum is the same, the “rigor” cannot be different. A student in Algebra at Kenmore is learning the same material and has the same expectations as a student at any other MS. I think your son’s friend is the issue, not where he attended MS. [/quote]
