[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have W-L high schoolers that came up through the Ashlawn/Kenmore pyramid. Neither of them ever struggle to keep up in HS. Kenmore is fine. [/quote] That’s because high school standards are lower overall. Schools are not preparing students for college. Even the smartest students struggle. https://nataliewexler.substack.com/p/the-college-kids-are-not-all-right?r=6il9h&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&triedRedirect=true[/quote] The regular (baseline) classes in high school are now very basic. But they used to be quite challenging 20 years ago. You could not coast by at all. Depending on where they came from (for middle school), students at W-L are either well prepared or unfortunately unprepared for the academic rigour of the higher level classes in 9th grade. [/quote]
