[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally, writing is better in privates but math and science is better at Haycock/Longfellow/McLean.  It depends on your priorities. [/quote]

This has long been the case but private schools are catching up on STEM while public schools don't really seem to be catching up on writing.  [/quote]

Which privates track as aggressively as publics in math? [/quote]
Not in elementary.  Feels like private wants everyone to be on the same track. If advanced you get more worksheets that are the same context.  [/quote]

A few of the independent Christian ones I know offer acceleration in 5th or 6th (ex: was talking to a 5th grade teacher who said her school has a separate advanced math class in 5th and our private school offers 5th graders the option to be in 6th grade math and 7th graders can take Honors Algebra 1). I don't know of any that offer acceleration as early as 3rd outside of the STEM magnets like Nysmith or BIM.

Have not seen any private that offers the fairly rare but doable track of Geometry in 7th outside of again, the STEM magnets.

Not sure about the other non-religious independents and haven't heard anything from my friends at parochial school about math acceleration.[/quote]
