[quote=Anonymous]PP who left after 6th grade. In a nutshell, Hobson can't serve it's IB largely UMC population very well w/out leveled classes in science or social studies. Our impression was that admins, teachers and parents mostly want these classes, but DCPS HQ won't permit them. The school also doesn't offer tough enough math to advanced 6th grader, though things get better w/math in 7th grade. English classes are pitched at grade level, with no above-grade level instruction for advanced students. Perhaps the biggest problem we faced was that our shy kid didn't like dealing with what she termed "rowdiness" in hallways, cafeteria, electives and on the playground. She wasn't too happy w/the behavior of peers outside honors ELA and math and Spanish (not mandatory, attracting stronger students). The arts program at Hobson theatrical performances, instrumental instruction) is very good, but she's no performer and we couldn't get her to take advantage of it. [/quote]
