[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's up with all the jealousy and anger against HB?  From what I see, there's basically no difference between HB, Yorktown, and W-L on test scores.  HB's are slightly higher, maybe, but that's probably because it's a choice school and only more actively involved parents/kid are throwing in applications.

If the curriculum is the same (which it is) and the test scores are the same (which they are) then the educations are the same.  You're already getting at your neighborhood schools what you're getting at HB.

So why not make it a HS only and make better use of facility space and have less crowded high schools if it’s nothing special?  Literally the point of this thread. [/quote]

Because any effect that this would have would be minor and fleeting, maybe?  There are 6800 students in the 3 traditional high schools and 243 middle school students at HB.  So you'd be eliminating a small middle school that's part of a decades-old successful program and add to the size of the currently existing middle schools simply to reduce the size of each high school by, what, three classrooms apiece?  That is compulsive, short-term thinking -- not a long term solution. [/quote]
