[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's up with all the jealousy and anger against HB?  From what I see, there's basically no difference between HB, Yorktown, and W-L on test scores.  HB's are slightly higher, maybe, but that's probably because it's a choice school and only more actively involved parents/kid are throwing in applications.

If the curriculum is the same (which it is) and the test scores are the same (which they are) then the educations are the same.  You're already getting at your neighborhood schools what you're getting at HB.

So why not make it a HS only and make better use of facility space and have less crowded high schools if it’s nothing special?  Literally the point of this thread. [/quote]

Why is it necessarily "better use" of the space to have more high schoolers instead of middle schoolers?  Middle school is a unique age group with their own needs during a developmentally turbulent period - why shouldn't they get to have access to the program?  Every argument for why HS students would choose HB also applies to MS students.[/quote]

It’s a better use because we have plenty of middle school seats elsewhere. But I know you are being willfully ignorant [/quote]

Some of the middle schools are also overcrowded.[/quote]

But there are a lot of open seats in some.  People just won't allow boundaries to change in a way that would fill them all equally.[/quote]

Right, we all know how easy boundary changes are in APS![/quote]
