[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, I'm hoping this thread won't derail into the same Cap Hill middle school drama. Anyone whose kids are at Jefferson right now?  [/quote]

I’m a current parent of a student at Jefferson who came from Brent. My observations so far:

- There is definitely advanced math, with a small set of sixth graders in seventh grade math, and so on.

- For the rest of the core classes (ELA, science, etc.), it appears that higher performing kids are placed in the same cohort together.

Happy to try to answer any specific questions.

Can anyone say how the advanced Spanish classes are going at Jefferson (geared towards Tyler Spanish immersion students) and what percent of Tyler kids immersion and not immersion went to Jefferson this year? [/quote]

The classes are not advanced in Tyler so doubtful. [/quote]

So you have no idea?[/quote]

Not PP  but if the feeder school kids are weak, why would you think the Spanish classes at Jefferson would be rigorous, especially since it’s a poorly performing school overall where overwhelming majority of kids can’t even master English?

Ok so Tyler has a Spanish immersion program...and yes the kids in the program probably do not have extremely high levels of Spanish for an immersion program, but they have higher levels than kids who have never taken Spanish. I attended a meeting where the Jefferson principal had talked about the Spanish teacher tailoring classes for the Tyler Spanish immersion students coming to Jefferson and I was asking if anyone knew how that was going. Instead I had two people who have no idea just come on to insult actual people and students in the program/school. [/quote]
