[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SJC's classes are smaller than MCPS high school classes, and that means more student participation and teacher attention.  I believe that the average class size at SJC is about 20.  My child has never been in a class larger than 23 students.

My child take honors/AP classes at SJC, and they write more papers (and get a lot more feedback) in their English and history classes than their friends who are taking the same AP classes at BCC do.

Also, SJC allows kids to focus on school without having to worry about violence. In the time DC has been in high school there have been no bomb threats or lockdowns at SJC. They are a regular occurance at BCC these days. I've only heard of one (small) fight in the time that we've been there, and all of the kids who were involved were expelled.

I agree with the above—it is a good general description of some of the advantages.

Sent my DS to SJC, he was class of 2022, so he was a pandemic-timing high schooler. I thought SJC was an amazing value. I was very happy with it there. A wonderful, positive, not pressure cooker, but not chaotic high school experience. [/quote]
