[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have heard Visi slots girls into tracks and can be stubborn about who gets to take honors classes. Have not heard this about SR. [/quote]

SR is also very methodical about who gets into honors and AP classes. My DD knows of many who were disappointed about not getting in.[/quote]

Also true at Gonzaga. [/quote]

A B+ is not exactly a super high bar. I would also add that they are open to discussing the placement if there are extenuating circumstances or even if the student makes a good pitch for whey they should be allowed to take the more advanced class. DD's friend found herself in this situation and was able to talk her way into the upper-level class. I know from friends that some other schools are much more rigid on this standard. But, yes, I'm sure there were girls who were disappointed because they did not get into the class/level they wanted. I think the school could do a better job being a bit more transparent about what's grades are needed. Things got a bit murky when they removed the "teacher must recommend you for honors/AP" part of the equation. [/quote]
