[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Einstein is academically weak.  [/quote]

Other than math, we’ve been pleased. English and history instruction have been stellar. IB diploma kid. [/quote]

PP with kid at Einstein. DD is not in the IB program and we’re a bit disappointed about lack of AP science. Otherwise, we’ve been ok with the academics. [/quote]

The lack of aps and advance math and science classes is our biggest issue.  They have some very bright and capable teachers who can teach them but the principal will not allocate classes to aps.  [/quote]

Sounds perfect to me.  I can't tell you how sick I am of people in MoCo equating educational quality and student intelligence with STEM study.  Kids who want more of that can get it elsewhere: it dominates most people's thinking about learning and careers anyway.  To have one HS that doesn't assume thst this is everyone's automatic dream and destiny is massively refreshing. [/quote]

You’d can’t get it elsewhere as you have to lottery into or apply and not all kids get selected.  Why should stem kids get an equal education as the art kids or what if you have super smart art kids who want both?  It’s a big school.  No reason not to offer a few more Ap classes.  They have some bright capable teachers.  [/quote]
