[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does your child want to do? JR is fine. Some kids enjoy it but it is chaotic and teaching is uneven - some excellent teachers, some ok, and some terrible. Counselors are not helpful. Despite the issues, some kids are able to thrive there, others get by and some hate it. Is your child bright, self motivated and independent. She might enjoy it then.[/quote] JR can be quite chaotic but it is nowhere as crazy as some people make it sound. Many more good teachers then mediocre I think - a few crappy ones can always be found. 9th grade might be a bit of a transition period for them but by 10th grade they can start taking APs and classes become much more challenging and well-managed. If she is into STEM - the Academies (Biomed, Engineering, and CS) are quite good. They are also working on the others and they are becoming stronger as well. Bonus point - if your kid can learn to navigate JR and how to advocated for themselves they will be much better prepared for college. [/quote] All good points, and accurate. [/quote]
