[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I'm many years late to this party, but I am so pleased with my son's one year (8th grade) experience at Stuart-Hobson, that I just had to share.

We are out of bounds and switched from a charter school when he was offered a seat off of the MySchools waitlist at the beginning of the year.

The 8th grade Algebra and science teachers are PHENOMENAL. My son's MAP scores in math jumped from 81st percentile end of 7th grade to 91st percentile (Algebra) end of 8th. His MAP scores in science jumped from 89th percentile to 98th percentile over the same year. And my son wasn't the only one to experience this much growth in MAP scores: MANY of these two teacher's students did.

He is dyslexic so he is not a high achiever in English & History, but I was super impressed with the gains he made in writing and historical analysis.

With respect to fights/bullying: I can't personally vouch for it as my son wasn't there last year, but what I heard is that at the end of 2021-22 they got rid of about 10 kids who were responsible for most of the fighting/bullying--either directly or by encouraging it. According to several teachers, this made a HUGE difference this year.

This year (2022-23) there were a few fights... but according to my son, they all involved the same girl, who is a 8th grader (and thus won't be there next year).

I went into the year cautious and optimistic. But SH ended up exceeding my expectations. I am SO pleased. ...so much so that I just had to come back here and encourage others to consider it![/quote]

We'll be there next year as well. I guess, as most parents sending their kids to SH, we are a bit worried about what happens afterwards. How did your son fair?[/quote]
