[quote=Anonymous]It all depends on your DD. My DD is very happy at NCS (in MS). She is popular and has wonderful, kind, supportive friends. She is not a straight "A" student (although she was before NCS), but most there are not. The average grade in the class on her most recent math test was a 75%. There have been a lot of tears among her classmates this year as the grading is very intense. Homework can easily take 4 hours a night (not always). So, as I said, the intensity depends on the child. I do not love the academic approach. I think if a middle school class is averaging 75% on a math test in the first trimester, something is missing with the teaching. But, I recognize that there are pros and cons to every school and I trust that there is a method to the madness at NCS, because their track record speaks for itself. I wish the teachers were more supportive and proactive, but I have a very emotionally resilient child who loves the school.[/quote]
