[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you think that this issue has never arisen before?  What makes the idea of having a test-in middle school so intriguing and warranted at this stage of the game.

I guess when we had [decades ago] the school population to fill such a school to the rafters, why is it a need to have one now.  Considering that small schools can't and don't survive per the data being shared?[/quote]

Maybe it could be a large middle school with a test-in portion?  The kids eat and play together, but have different classes?  Advanced for some, grade level for others?  I'd love that at either SH or at EH.  But isn't this just a matter of making the JEfferson Academy admission stricter?  It already has separate classes from "regular" JEfferson, so the basis of having something higher level is already there-- it just needs to actually follow through with it by restricting admission to those that can do higher level work.)

Not sure that my kid would get into advanced classes in middle school, but it would give him an option if he was willing to put in the work and has the aptitude.  Brent has something like that right now and I'd like to continue that in middle school.[/quote]
