[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a terrible idea to feed a whole swath of kids into a niche high school with limited offerings, Yes, a small school with few sports could be good for some kids, but it's not the equivalent of JR, which btw, has lots of challenges right now with teachers not showing up for months at a time, etc. They should let people apply to the new high school but not force people to enroll in a school with limited offerings.[/quote] An 800-person high school is not "niche." Education experts actually recommend that size as better for students than the 2000-student behemoths. The issue is providing adequate budget, not that the size is inadequate.[/quote] The author of this essay, https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomvanderark/2021/06/04/whats-the-right-high-school-size-and-structure/?sh=4c199a85aa18 argues that the downsides of large high schools outweigh the benefits of a few extra language classes or whatever. Makes sense to me.[/quote]
