[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“At HBW, all classes are intensified,” - quote from the principal.[/quote] I can explain this. In middle school at HB, students take 8 classes instead of 7 at the neighborhood schools. This results in less instructional time in each class so the classes are “intensified” to cover all the material in less time. Same in the high school, though most HS students use the 8th period as a free period for HW, HS sports, etc. additionally there are just not enough students to offer that many sections of every class. In the HS especially, there are only intensified classes in math. The other classes have regular and then there are AP options, though fewer AP offerings than the neighborhood schools because of the lower population.[/quote]
