[quote=Anonymous]We pupil placed our DC to SLHS which is GS-5 from a much higher GS school. DC ended up at TJ (pupil placement forms were due before TJ decisions came out) so we didn't get to see how it turned out. But, I still think that for this particular kid and that particular school (great IB program and strong all around academically kid who loves to write) it would have worked. I did a ton of research, and it has a school within a school thing going on and about 100 kids a year getting the full IB diploma. So, I wasn't worried about peer group. In fact, SLHSs average SATs beat several more highly thought of HSs, like W. Springfield. They just have a large ESL population, and that subgroup tends to fail SOLs. But, the other subgroup is very high achieving. And once you get out of PE, they don't overlap in their classes. I wouldn't make a call based on GS scores alone. You need to understand the dynamics of the school. [/quote]
