[quote=Anonymous]I’d echo other comments from current Prep families. We have a 9th grader who came from public middle school. The academics have been a definite step up, but nothing extreme. The hardest thing for him this year has been the grammar part of English, because his public middle school did not teach that but the feeder parochial schools did. He’s felt some stress about the amount of work and the pace (lots of tests and quizzes), but it’s been manageable. He’s developing great organizational and study skills. The students and faculty are very supportive. And not all the kids are gunning for straight As. Some of them appear to be more focused on sports. So it’s not like all the students are non-stop stressing about their grades. [/quote]
