[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]But the HIGH kids are mixed this coming year. No cohort.

That truly sucks. HIGH has been my DC’s most engaging class. And DC doesn’t even love history. But it’s challenging and engaging and has a great group of kids.

That’s strange, I asked and he clarified they are separate classes, there are 4 classes of HIGH6 for about 120 kids out of 500 kids and that this cohort continue to HIGH7 and 8..
I don’t understand why there are different versions of the information[/quote]

Incoming 6th graders will be in all heterogeneous classes.  AIM mixed with IM, HIGH mixed with HIWS, Advanced English mixed with regular English, etc.  [/quote]

That's really too bad! I have a kid in 7th, and she was in 6th when the cohort classes started. There were only 2 each (History and Math) in 6th. The incoming 6th grade class in very large, much like the current 6th grade class (also around 500), so it would make sense they would need to add cohort classes. The current 7th grade classes is one of the smallest in recent years.

I really hope they're not mixed...the mixed science and English classes are not the same as the cohort classes.[/quote]
