[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to the phenomenal theater program, the debate team is great and has sent kids to national competitions. SHMS students have also represented DC at National History Day. SH academics are not particularly rigorous but totally fine if your kid takes advanced English and math. When we moved to MCPS (for reasons other than SHMS academics), my then 7th grader was able to excel in all the classes, including science. [/quote]

I totally agree with this.  I have a bright kid who isn't particularly motivated to tackle a crushing homework load like they would be asked to do at Basis.  My kid also is pretty introverted and unassuming.   I had my concerns about SH that he wouldn't be challenged and he would get lost in the crowd.  But my kid has thrived.  Totally involved in a lot of great extracurricular activities.  In advanced English and math, with peers of similar (or superior) academic abilities.  The principal and his teachers (most of whom are really good, probably less turnover than a lot of charters I hear about) know him and see him.  I can see how much my kid has grown there.  I don't lose sleep about him getting into a selective DCPS school.  [/quote]
