[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're at SH for 6th and it's quite OK.  Math and ELA, the only academically tracked classes, are good. The fine arts instruction is seriously good, as are the facilities.  Discipline isn't great, but it isn't bad - certainly not a dangerous setting for my 12 year old.  If the school weren't a 2-minute walk from our house, we wouldn't bother.  But it is, she's happy enough there, and we squeeze in 90 minutes of tutoring after school several days a week without the commute to wherever.  Working for us but we may not stay to 8th grade.

If math and ELA are good, why 180-270 minutes of tutoring per week? What subjects?[/quote]

Science, social studies w/writing emphasis, foreign language not taught at SH.

We're shooting for Walls or a private offering fi aid for 8th grade+ for a STEM oriented student and don't want to mess around. Some of the tutoring is merely in in the form of 1-2 hour/week classes via Out School on-line, very good.

We got a spot at BASIS but didn't like the cookie cutter curriculum, long school day, heavy emphasis on testing, bad building etc.
