[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spare us your OT yikes. Have you ever set foot in SH?

My kid tested out of 6th grade math at SH, took pre-algebra in 6th, algebra in 7th this year.  [b]That's BASIS level math.[/b] SH tracks extensively for math for the small number of kids who can handle acceleration.  If your kid is advanced in math at SH they wind up in math classes with a dozen kids and great teachers.  Really.

So the most advanced math offered at SH is BASIS standard math classes?[/quote]

Sort of.  It's a little hard to compare because BASIS teaches math the European and Asian way, with mixed subject math classes ever year, vs. the American way, pre-algebra one year, algebra the next, geometry the next etc.  No other DC public MS teaches math as advanced as BASIS.  But as somebody pointed out a few pages back, BASIS' offerings aren't advanced in every subject. SH teaches more advanced Spanish than the BASIS MS does, along with music.  BASIS 6th graders can take advanced Spanish while BASIS students can't take a language before 8th grade, and can only take beginning languages in 8th.[/quote]
