[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at MHS and a kid at TJ. MHS does a legitimately bad job at dealing with 504 supports, illness-related absences, returning to school, helping kids with learning differences navigate. TJ is the direct opposite. Proactive outreach from counselors, teachers helping students when gaps are evident, everyone making sure that students are learning.  And it's very consistent! MHS is terribly inconsisten. Things we've experienced: test irregularities in an AP class for which there are at least 5 sections (in the class, not the test - do we really think it's OK for all these sections to be administered differently? MHS ultimately agreed with what must have been scores of parents saying no), testing irregularities in an AP exam (not reported by the proctor), teachers that do not comply with 504 plans and actively resist doing so [simple things that make a big difference to all students - unambiguous notations which assignments are graded], the list goes on!

BTW kid at MHS is a NMF and maxed on math too [2 years post calc]. Classes are legitimately easier at TJ. TJ kid has all As.

I'd be happy with group study halls after school. Despite having friends with the exact same classes, my MHS child often does not see friends because they are all in different sections. [/quote]
