[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are enrolling less kids each year. They shoot for 200 in ninth and accept a lot more than that because so many kids apply to more than one school. I wouldn’t worry about getting in. They have had to lower the academic requirements in recent years due to not having enough kids, so now there are more kids with LD and learning plans. Still lots of excellent students. The teacher pay is so lousy and the health benefits are horrendous, so it’s hard to recruit and keep good teachers. Lots of second career teachers or teachers retired from public schools. Very low teacher morale is an ongoing issue. Many kids are happy there. They lose kids a lot through attrition and a couple just left for drugs. You’ll find that anywhere. [/quote] PP, do you have a current student? I believe there are more than 200 freshman this year!
