[quote=Anonymous]I also don't think you can solely focus on test scores to show academic rigor. I look at the quality of the assignment or program and the ability of the child to grow in such a way to meet or exceed the expectations set by the teacher. Having been part of both OA and Deal, I think the expectations at Deal are higher and the quality of the assignments are more challenging. Multiplying that across several content areas means more academic rigor. There are things that our family misses about OA, but on the whole, the chaos and the lack of quality in the Spanish in several of the lower grades combined with the lack of academic rigor brought us to the decision to leave. I think the program was better before it stretched itself so thin to include the middle school. There were also higher quality teachers 8 to 10 years ago in the lower grades. They retired or moved on and the holes were not filled with proper replacements. [/quote]
