[quote=Anonymous]That's because we don't have a single ambitious middle school with great facilities. We have an ambitious middle school for math with mediocre instruction (no tracking) for English and crap facilities - BASIS. We have a few OK middle schools with good facilities (Deal, Hobson, Hardy etc.). But as a city, we aren't able to combine these two critical elements in any one middle school. Latin comes closest at integrating the two, which isn't saying all that much. In a nutshell, this is why so many ambitious parents supplement. They aren't tiger parents as much as they're looking for basic offerings that are standard offerings in the better public schools in surrounding jurisdictions. Think about it - BASIS has no stage, library or real gym. Deal puts kids who read at a 4th grade level in the same English classrooms as kids who read at a 9th grade level. And on and on the glaring deficiencies go. [/quote]
