[quote=Anonymous]Hi! Current SHMS parent (8th grade) and former SHMS teacher. My 8th grader loves to read (DC CAPE raw score was 841/850). Honestly, I don't find the ELA program terribly rigorous, but I think that is a DCPS issue and not a SHMS issue. I appreciated the ELA programming at the private schools we visited because the teachers weren't beholden to a standardized test and could actually teach whole novels. The advanced math track has phenomenal teachers who provide a good amount of rigor and support. Students are currently balancing chemical equations in science. History Day is approaching. SHMS students have traditionally done well and moved on to nationals and in many cases won. Current students are no different. If you child has even a passing interest in the arts, it's a great fit. Many of my former students went on to selective high schools and/or private schools and great colleges. I think kids who are mostly focused do well. [/quote]
