Not true. My DC is at Pyle and not everyone is in HIGH.

It appears to be the only option for next year's 6th graders:

Thanks. Slide number 25 shows there is Global humanities and world studies. However, unlike math placement, they don’t mention the criteria for global vs world studies.

No, it doesn’t. It says, “ALL 6th grader students are enrolled in Historical Inquiry into Global Humanities/World Studies” — meaning they are the same class.

Or it means all 6th graders are enrolled in either Global Humanities or World studies? I reached out to the middle school (Pyle) and they informed me that they will get information from the central office for the placement in Global Humanities. So no, they are not all enrolled in Global.

As someone who went to the parent night where those slides were presented, I can confirm that all students will be in the same class. Someone asked the question, and the department had answered it. Teachers are supposed to.” Differentiate” for the kids who qualified for the enriched program. You can email the head of the department to confirm. His name is on the slide.

This cannot be true. My middle school managed to schedule advanced classes before computers existed, and high schools manage to pull it off with many more variables in the mix.

Why is it to difficult? I promise you reliable and worthwhile in class differentiation doesn’t happen.
