[quote=Anonymous]HS counselor here. OK, so don't believe it. Believe whatever you want. Believe that differentiation in a Deal humanities classroom where some students work below grade level, others at grade level, and others ahead of grade level (possibly 2 or 3 years ahead) provides the best possible preparation for high school for the "smart kids" in the room. If differentiation in the classroom was guaranteed to bring out the best in every advanced MS student living in NW, why would any municipality in the country bother funding and running full-time middle school GT programs? This discussion pertains to challenging "smart kids" at Deal, not average kids. If you really want an answer to your question, consider attending an open house at the Takoma Park MoCo MS Math/Sci Magnet, or the Eastern MS Humanities Magnet in Silver Spring, or, better yet, the Hunter College MS in NYC (they admit around 6% of 5th grade applicants).
