[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^PP - your DH is looking for a unicorn. What MS, public or private tracks for social studies or science? That usually starts at HS. [/quote]

Not the poster you’re responding to, but it’s liberal B.S. to believe that the achievement gap isn’t a greater problem in schools that have large at-risk populations and relatively smaller advanced learners.  Tracking is more critical when the disparities within the student body are vast.

That is fair. But the point is that S-H DOES NOT have a large at-risk population or a "relatively smaller" group of advanced learners. And the folks continuing to lean on that as their explanation for why the school won't work for their kid are either willfully ignorant or... something else.[/quote]

Does S-H offer Algebra I and Geometry?  Most middle schools offer these courses to their college bound students.  You have to have Algebra I and Geometry in middle school at a minimum if you want to apply to competitive colleges because this is the sequence that will let a student take Calculus in high school.

If you don't have a sizable number of students scoring 5 in math in Parcc/advanced learners, the school does not offer these courses which is why most UMC parents will not consider sending their kids there.  Same for English.

Nothing racist/something else about it.  [/quote]
