I don't know of there is anyway to say this gently but a previous poster mentioned that physics in 9th grade was a disaster.  A number of girls get close to 100% in that class each year.  So it isn't a disaster, in fact for many girls it is too simple.

If your child is struggling in 9th grade---10th, 11th and 12th grades aren't going to be easier.  You need to CHANGE SCHOOLS.  There are so many schooling options here in the DMV.  NCS doesn't pretend to be "one size fits all."  It doesn't pretend to be anything than but a super rigorous, grind of a school.  If that's not the right fit for your kid, then find a school that is. Many of us have been in this position and have made that move and our kid is so much happier because they're in an environment that works for them. [/quote]

To be fair to previous poster… it really depends on the teacher your kid draws. The teaching is not consistent among the faculty for this class. [/quote]
