[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am more and more confused about what HBW actually is. In my neighborhood I’ve heard it’s for the quirky/different kids that don’t fit in. On this website, some people say it’s like a private school that’s so good people pull strings to get their kids in. Others say it’s dumbed down and doesn’t have difficult classes. Still no clue what it’s all about. [/quote]

30 years ago it was a quirky independent study type program but in 2000s their curriculum was aligned with other schools

It was less attractive when comprehensive high schools were only 2x as big and not supersized. It was also in an old building though a huge plot of land for a middle school.

Now they are 1/3 the size of the high schools, in a $100m newer building, and everyone wants a better scaled school experience.

It has fewer AP, which is not the terror you think it is— many private schools are dropping them too. Dumbing down is hardly an issue, it has much lower FARMS by virtue of their lottery gate keeping. [/quote]
