[quote=Anonymous]It's about 1/4 of the 6th graders, maybe 20% of 7th graders, and 15% of 8th graders. Principal has implemented a solid test-in system this year, based on grades, PARCC scores and placement tests. In a nutshell, being white or UMC with assertive parents is no longer enough to be placed into an honors class at SH. Around 50 6th graders are in advanced ELA, math or both, generally along with Spanish. Kids also tend to self-select into honors electives that are more challenging that the rest. Hobson certainly isn't the best middle school around, but our bright and motivated kid kid works with tutors or receives extra academic instruction outside school in small classes 6-8 hours per week on top of what they're offering. He has the time without commuting to school around 1.5 hours per weekday. New principal has a much better handle on keeping order and meeting parents halfway than the last one (two years back).
