I responded earlier and I’m not sure what you are looking for.  No, I haven’t compared the curriculum nor am I planning to (not sure why I would?).

The social studies class was the same because the teacher told us that at parent’s night. My DC has 100 so she can’t be too challenged, but she really enjoys the class and is discussing the material at home.  The math class is much more challenging than the 4th and 5th grade advanced class but the teacher is weak so that could be the issue.  I will say it appears the magnet students were better prepared.  That said, she’s a strong math student so is still doing well, it’s just not straight 100s like in 3rd and 4th.

All that said, we are comfortable with the level of challenge DC is receiving.  Middle school is a time of huge biological change and as long as they get through it mentally healthy i’m not worried about the academics.[/quote]

I wonder if you didn't hear the teacher correctly?

My child is a 6th grader at Rosa. The Global Humanities teacher (who is excellent BTW) told us that he would cover the same curriculum as the other class--but far more in depth, and with added enrichment and activities. The class is truly interesting and my son enjoys it tremendously. [/quote]
