[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree. My 6th grader's largest class this year was in the low 20s. Her writing class had 15 students, like a private school. Great librarians and school library. Wonderful to have use of the indoor track and lovely auditorium shared with the county. Good band, orchestra, chorus, school gardens, tennis courts.  Real math challenge and strong instruction. Solid grade counselor. Was nervous about Jefferson but happy thus far.

Its ridiculous that we have so much capacity at the middle school level, but we can't swap HB into a high school only program and return those seats to their spacious neighborhood schools and allow HB to absorb more from the overcrowded high schools AND allow MORE students to participate in HB with its long waitlist.[/quote]

Hey look it’s the same lady who wants to make HB a high school in EVERY THREAD[/quote]

Or, ya know, more than one person shares that opinion. Mind blowing, I know.[/quote]

There is not much difference between HB and regular high schools besides size.  It's the same curriculum.  Actually, HB has fewer class choices and no sports.[/quote]

Are you Fing kidding me?  The whole difference is the school size is CAPPED. [/quote]

Yes, because it's a very small building (surrounded by office buildings) so it can hold fewer people.  Bigger schools with all the sports fields and such can hold more, like W-L as posted above.

But my point is, the education is the same, or even potentially better at the bigger schools with greater selection of courses.[/quote]

FFS, they are increasing WL by the ENTIRE POPULATION of HB by converting office space.

And the HB students use the same fields.[/quote]
