[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe for your kid who is "high achieving" and is separated out in the classroom. Not all kids are that smart.  They work hard, but are not gifted. Kids in the middle who otherwise have no social issues get lost at Kenmore and have to deal with kids who clearly DO have social issues that are quite prevalent in the classroom. That is one of the key problems in south arlington schools.[/quote]

There may be some truth to this - but I still don't completely buy it.  Yes - my kids are in a few classes that are academically advanced (e.g. math), but they are also in several "general" classes.  There are some kids in these classes who are disruptive and/or clearly don't give a damn about grades.  But - neither my sixth or eighth grader has had serious issues with these kids.  They quickly learned to both pity and ignore them.

As an aside - Kenmore's population is changing.  The school draws from a few neighborhoods north of 50 (e.g. Arlington Forest) that have experienced something of a kid boom.  This has impacted the demographics a fair amount over the last few years.   [/quote]
