[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]English and history were big disappointments at TPMS for my kid.  Science and math were top notch - great teachers and motivated/capable peer.  English and history -- much worse than W district middle schools.[/quote]

Can you please say more about this? English especially is as important to us as the math and science. Can you give more particulars about the problems and also about why some W/non-magnet middle schools are better? [/quote]

I am not PP, but maybe their kid is a little older. When my now 10th grader started at TPMS, she had a terrible Eng teacher. That teacher is now gone. In 8th, she had one of the new teachers who is AMAZING -- really invested. Her last year of Eng made up for her first. I have heard that there are a few other great additions in Eng.  She also had a pretty lame SS teacher her first year. That teacher is now gone. My younger daughter (currently at TPMS) has a wonderful SS teacher. She is new. My older had a top notch SS teacher for 8th grade who has been at TPMS for a while. So the problematic teachers are leaving, and the new hires are inspiring. I think the principal's reputation has a lot to do w/ attracting great teachers. [/quote]
