[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I guess I’m not tracking- people are upset that SH doesn’t offer advanced science and social studies but neither does the “more highly acclaimed” (please notice quotes) Deal?

I get that SH has kids that are not advanced and may even read at a lower grade level but it seems to me that they have created a space for the high achiever with the offering of advanced ELA and math.  So is the real issue that SH has more students of color?

Advanced ELA and math are not enough to keep people happy if they also have to sit through chaotic and unchallenging classes in other areas and the general atmosphere of the school is chaotic.

Advanced classes at SH are a way of being in a room with kids who are on or above grade level and behave acceptably.  At Deal, that is true of most of the kids so there is not the same need for advanced classes.  [/quote]

We just started 6th at Stuart Hobson. How do they determine who gets into the advanced classes? Also, is the administration usually dismissive? I can't get anyone to return e-mails and do not get a warm vibe. Of course, we have not met anyone in-person this year. How is the staff regularly?[/quote]
