[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid in Ingenuity at RPEMS right now. She's also been there since 6th grade after migrating over from a charter. Ingenuity and AA are very similar -- same ELA and social studies classes, but different math/science programs. Homework was intense during 6th grade, but hasn't been awful in 7th and 8th (keep in mind they've been virtual since March 2020.)

As with most schools, RPEMS is a "good" school that will fit your kid as well as it can. My daughter has had some really wonderful teachers, but she's also had some bad ones, and it's the luck of the draw who you get. The school had budget cuts last year which eliminated its French program and strings program. If these things mattered to your kid, you were SOL -- but maybe your kid is into Spanish and trumpet? If so, then no worries. I expect some of the budget constraints to be eased as the city schools get Kerwin money in the coming years.

The bottom line is that RPEMS functions probably as well as any large suburban public school. Don't ask for or expect too much and you won't be disappointed. If your kid is self motivated and without learning differences your experience is more likely to go smoothly.[/quote]
