DS’s school (also 7th) has some group work but mostly individual work. He’s had a good experience with it but I know how easy it is for group work to become a time liability for g/t students if they are not grouped with academic peers.

OP here. DD’s current school places a strong emphasis on group work I class and also occasionally for assignments. Despite being a gifted and talented student, she has sometimes faced challenges with group dynamics and collaborative tasks. We are hoping that moving forward there will be more of an emphasis on individual vs group work

She prefers to work individually and not to do lots of group focused class work and projects, which her current school prefers. I would appreciate insight on which of these schools has a more individual and less of a group focus to class work and projects.
Thank you for any advice you may provide
Our child is in 7th grade at SR--I presume they do some group work in classes, but she hasn't had any homework assignments (which we found with our son can be pretty difficult for the kids to coordinate). I'll be curious to hear what SR HS is like as well. Hoping its a mix--not all one thing, but great question.
