[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A large proportion of kids got all A's (see the honor roll) at Westland (though not nearly the percentage of kids at Pyle who got all A's) - so if your child is bright, they should be fine academically (though how engaged and challenged they are depends on whether they end up with the better teachers or not). But as everybody says - middle school is a tough time and there is a lot more to it than just academics. The social piece is critical. Has your child expressed worry? Do they have some good friends to ride the bus with and hopefully be assigned to lunch with? [/quote] NP here (Westland parent). I was curious how hard it was to get on the honor roll because my son doesn't seem to work particularly hard on homework in after-school hours, and yet he's on the honor roll. (Also he's allowed to re-take some tests if needed, as allowed by the guidelines.) So I'm curious to know if the teachers are too willing to give A's? [/quote] That will be change from our ES, where everybody gets straight Ps. I'm told they don't give "ES options" in lots of classes.[/quote]
