[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SH and a lot of the other DCPS middle schools offer a lot of sports and extracurriculars.  The really high-achieving kids are likely to be very busy with some combination of activities like the musical, debate, mock trial, and sports teams, etc.  That does not always leave a ton of time for tutoring unless you absolutely need it.[/quote]

SH offerings are mediocre. [/quote]

The SH extracurricular offerings are mediocre? That is just a lie. For offerings to student ratio, I'd say SH's are obviously the best of DC public schools. (Deal is the only school that comes close and it is orders of magnitude bigger, so the activities are nowhere near as accessible.)[/quote]

I understand the instinct to try and feel assured that the school you chose for your kids is fine and that it will all work out.

It's ALSO true that there is a portion of people who feel that SH is simply not offering a good enough education and would not consider it for their kids. and these people are not wrong, either. [/quote]

My kid is not at SH. They may be in the future and I also have some qualms about the lack of tracking there outside of math. But attacking the extracurricular offerings at SH, of all things, just makes you look uninformed. I would LOVE to hear what public school in DC they think is suitable on this front if not SH. If their answer is move to the burbs or go private, then I'm not sure why they're trolling a DCPS message board.[/quote]
