[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I am incredibly lucky - my kid got into HB for 9th. Anyone able to answer a few qs?

He wants to do a fall sport at the neighborhood high school. How does that work? I read there are sports buses that leave early but do they go to each school? Do the kids just miss that class every day?

Is there still a shadow day- and is  it in the next week or so since we only have 14 days to decide?

Is it still true that there are no intensified classes- and [b]AP classes are co-taught with non-AP[/b]?

Kid isn’t sold on the school despite being excited about it before - we’d be crazy not to try it right?

Yes some AP classes are taught with the general class.

The HB AP classes in general are not taught at a difficult level. Our kids have or will have taken all the "hard" ones (APUSH, AP Lit, Calc, Chem, Phys, etc.) and they were taught easier than the same classes at other schools in FFX and MoCo, when compared with their friends on their sports or "academic" teams. Average AP scores for the classes have generally been on the lower end. If a kid at HB is struggling with most of these classes, they would have had a much harder time at a neighboring school, and it doesn't prepare well for a future stem major at a good college.[/quote]

That’s interesting. My HB kid had less homework and tests as compared to her friends at her home school. [/quote]

So you are agreeing with what this person is saying.  Yes?  The AP classes at HB are not at the same level of rigor as home high schools.[/quote]
