[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by 120 6th grade spots? Spots budgeted for? This is an IB school that has to take as many IB and feeder students who turn up before, on, or after the first day of school, right?

Advanced placement classes in which subjects? How are students evaluated for admission to these classes then?

Sincerely asking.[/quote]

120 budgeted for, since the school needs to have an idea of what to open for the lottery. These numbers are based on past school years and the size they hope their 6th grade class will be in total. We were told about advanced subjects in math, science, ela, geography as well as electives that are available like personal finance, media studies (we stopped into a class discussing how to source factual information from the internet and discern if something is reliable or not) and robotics. There is a summer program in July where kids are evaluated for class placements that this works in conjunction with communication with 5th grade teachers (for the IB kids). If a student starts in a non-accelerated class at the start of the year they can also be moved up mid-year if their work demonstrates they should be.[/quote]
