[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latin is loosening up on math tracking issues, after coming under heavy pressure from high SES parents to do this in the last 4 or 5 years, but that's about it. BASIS has been letting their most advanced math students take geometry in 7th all along. If your kid is an advanced, highly motivated humanities student at Latin, being in class with many peers who aren't is hardly the end of the world, but it's just OK. Latin has produced just one National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist in 5 graduating classes, while many area suburban schools and privates produce a dozen each fall (and TJ produces four dozen). If your kid is especially bright and motivated, I'd look into academic summer camps, tutors and on-line course work. Plenty of Latin parents supplement without telling others, particularly those who don't plan to stay for HS. [/quote] Has the new Head of School changed anything else? [/quote]
