[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very interested to hear your thoughts on Truth as a high school, OP. Personally I'm not sure which option is better.[/quote]

I don’t have any real insight about high school. As a middle schooler, my kid has been a fairly high performer, but there is little interest from the school in providing additional challenging materials. He’s doing fine overall, but the the promise of customized education has not really been delivered on for those on the top end of the spectrum.[/quote]

This is exactly my experience with a middle schooler at Truth. Very high performer who is getting insufficient differentiation. School is fine for average or slightly above average kid, not so much for those at the top or bottom of the spectrum. We’re definitely not staying for high school.[/quote]

What are you considering for HS? I think there is a strong chance we end up at Truth for MS but won’t want to stay at HS, which I know can be very tricky so curious what you are considering. [/quote]

Thus far it seems like lots of 8th graders get into the application high schools - Walls, Banneker, McKinley. So there's obviously no guarantees, but seems like strong cohorts so far. I think more kids will start staying for HS as well as the HS continues to grow.[/quote]
