[quote=Anonymous]PP here, with the middle school question.  I understand what everyone is saying about SWS being untested for middle school, because no one has gone to middle school directly from SWS yet.  I also share some of the same concerns about whether Reggio is the best approach for grades 1-5 (without questioning its merits for ECE).   Even though we don't have middle school results yet, at this point parents should be able to tell whether it is even the school's goal to get kids ready for the advanced middle school classes, for the students with that potential.  One thing that is odd to me about SWS is that they say they do pull-outs for kids who are behind, but not kids who are advanced.  Yet at schools with more SES diversity (read: not as heavily high-SES), there seem to be pull-outs at both ends.  Why is that?  Are the "average" kids at SWS doing the same stuff as the "advanced" kids at other schools (by virtue of SES)?  Or are the advanced kids at SWS challenged/engaged in other ways, but not necessarily "academic" ones?    [/quote]
