[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are we even parsing SH vs Jefferson?  Neither is a good choice for kids on a college track.  I went to the SH open house a few years ago and the principal was touting that they allowed certain 8th graders to take algebra 1 and that was impressive as a “high school” course.  I left about 10 minutes into the open house knowing the school was not for us. Anyone who is on a college track takes algebra 1 in MS. If your MS does not offer it at a bare minimum there is a problem.  The mediocrity that hill parents are conditioned to expect is astounding. [/quote]

Things have improved. A few years is a long time on CH. Some SH 7th graders and many 8th graders now take algebra, [b]along with honors ELA[/b]. It's the non-differentiated science and social studies that scare parents.[/quote]

I thought SH put every kid in "honors ELA."  If that is indeed the case, I don't understand how it's honors...[/quote]

That’s not correct. SH tracks ELA and math. One is honors; one is not.[/quote]

Honors in name only. Grade level. Not challenging for my kid, ELA, math, science, social studies. We're not returning to SH in in the fall. Going private after getting a lot of financial aid. [/quote]
