[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lewis has course offering issues too because of the large ESOL population and shrinking enrollment (1700).

Courses are dropped or one instance is offered and if it doesn't fit your schedule tough luck for you.

West Springfield has [b]800[/b] more students - so more course offerings for them.

The county has essentially become two systems.[/quote]

Once more:

My DD at a very large high school was not able to take some of those lovely choices because of conflicts.  There are usually only one of the "special" courses offered and all do not get again. There are also some that kids want, but not enough kids sign up.

As for the foreign languages--that depends on the desires of the population-and the teachers that are available.  And, some of those language classes may be split levels.

Just because it is in the catalog does not mean it is taught.

As for Lewis, they need to get rid of IB.  IB is highly structured and limits some of the other opportunities.

I don't disagree that it can happen at the larger schools, but the problem is much worse at some schools and impacts more classes.[/quote]
