[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will go first. Would have loved to know that:

1) School does not allow students to take home their graded quizzes and exams. Student may only review them in  class.

2) School does not allow students to view their grades at anytime. Grades are open and viewable for a couple of days per month and even viewable for less time for parents.

3). You get ONE grade for each class at the end of the year.

We would have still enrolled but these were interesting aspects that we were not aware of prior to enrollment. And, my DD loved it. [/quote]

As a parent who tutors her child in one subject, the first one really makes me mad. What is the reason?  Teachers don't want to come up with new tests each year?[/quote]

I think bc freshmen are mostly taking the exact same classes (except math and a handful of foreign language), it’s so tests aren’t circulated to students who haven’t taken it yet. DD is under the impression some departments use the same test across different teachers but depending on the rotating schedule and how a particular section is pacing, they could take tests days apart. The teachers, however, seem incredibly open to working with the girls and families so if you really wanted/needed them, I have no doubt they’d work with you. [/quote]
