[quote=Anonymous]None. There is a jump in reading expectations in 3rd, a jump in writing expectations in 4th, a jump in multiplication expectations in 5th, but truly, this is NOTHING compared to what awaits your child in high school. Elementary school, whether public or private, goes very slowly. It's time meant to be spent solidifying knowledge so that students start of their secondary education with rock-solid bases in English and arithmetic. Pay attention to math and writing, the two skills that build on each other every year, and tracking in math. You can't expect your child to do a handful of APs in high school and have a very attractive profile for college if they're not completely at ease with writing and logical reasoning in middle school.[/quote]
