[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But suburban high schools tend to have much better facilities than we have in DC. They also offer test-in school-within-a-school programs in many cases, e.g. well-established International Baccalaureate programs. They have partnerships with vocational/career high schools for enrichment so students in academic programs can access hands-on classes. The big high schools often teach half a dozen language to AP level and offer a vast array of strong extra-curriculars.' I'd be OK with a giant HS in the District it offered all that![/quote] Research says a 800 student school, with a medium array of extracurriculars but with a community feel, results in a better high school experience than huge size and a "vast array" of extracurriculars. But huge is cheaper, so that's what happens.[/quote]
