[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also really interested in any and all impressions on the regular academics at Loiederman. Does the school have placement options for advanced math/English, for example?  Our daughter would be so energized by the arts opportunities, but she’s in the gifted program in elementary school and I don’t know what to make of the academic landscape at Loiederman. [/quote]

Yes they have advanced placement. I found that to be good and bad. My 6th grader had classes with 8th graders. She’s super small, and they (the other students) treated her either as a child genius, or were flat out mean. The teacher was aware and said they can be a tough group, but did nothing to change it. We pulled her mid year. One of her two friends also left mid year for similar reasons.The commute, lackadaisical response from the teacher and counselor, and mean older students were too much.

What does advanced placement mean in a middle school context? Are you talking about AP courses?

No not AP, but above grade level. [/quote]

For example— in order to make up for not having “magnet level” math for 6th graders, they just put those students with on-level 8th graders. So while I appreciated that she was challenged with material, it made her challenged socially too. She was called out for little things like completing homework, and not being a jerk to the substitute. [/quote]
