[quote=Anonymous]I'm the Janney parent above and there is zero formal differentiation at Janney.  My kids did (and do) well with no effort and always get 5's on the PARCC. When we asked about more, it was suggested that they join the lunch time math club.  My neighbor's kid is a true prodigy (doing math 5 grades up, etc).  The parents had many meetings and were also provided with nothing except for suggestions about the math club and for a few weeks one year their kids was given extra work-sheets.  They were far more frustrated than we were because they have a kid who truly needs differentiation and was bored out of his mind (but well behaved because he's a quiet kid) and the school provided nothing year after year.   This school is 100% in the business of teaching AT GRADE LEVEL and providing a ton of support for kids who are behind.  But zero, nothing for kids who are ahead, even many years ahead.

Maybe it's different across the park where the array of ability is much wider.  At a school like Janney, I'd guess you have 75% of kids functioning very easily at grade level.  20% who lag behind in some way and 5% who are ahead. [/quote]
