[quote=Anonymous]We have sent two kids through 5th grade at Brent - one pre upper school and one post. Our child never reported any repeat assignments in upper school and had a wonderful experience with all the extracurriculars and special privileges for 5th graders. US allowed my child to build friendships with the class below and teachers also created opportunities to stretch and grow - particularly on math and writing. My child who predated US had a much harder experience - with the charter dynamic - it was hard to have so many people leave and so many new faces come in - which requires more time for teachers to rebuild norms and level kids coming from multiple school academically. US really mitigates this and enables much greater community stability and ability to academically differentiate and stretch. Whoever OP is - talk to people who have been through it. There are a range of experiences and different kids have different needs - but my US student and all their close friends loved it and thrived![/quote]
