[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's like "honors" classes at some schools all over again. I thought about 40 percent of the students at Pyle took IM in 6th. If there are 100 in the new enriched IM then that's 25 percent of the total 6th grade leaving 15 percent in just IM.

Why not just put everyone on the compacted or accelerated track in the enriched classes?

The incoming 6th grade Pyle class is the largest ever with more than 600 students.  [/quote]

How much increase numbers wise is there overall at Pyle next year? Are the 7th and 8th grade classes bigger than typical too?[/quote]

The current seventh grade at Pyle is smaller than the eighth grade, although I think the average grade size is roughly 500. If there are 600 incoming sixth graders, that will be the largest class while my kids were at Pyle (my older is at Whitman now).

Clue in this uninformed Pyle parent, please - are these accelerated classes just offered to the incoming sixth graders? To my knowledge, no one has mentioned any accelerated math or humanities classes next year for my current seventh grader. [/quote]
