Alan, thank you for this thought! I have noticed that majority of the public schools don't nurture the 'high' students enough. I feel that there should be a way to evaluate our schools more appropriately. Districts should recongnize how many students increased their learning rather than how many students are now 'on level'.

As a private school, it is also a smaller setting and those students who need more attention can get it easily. Also, since it was the choice of their parents to make the sacrifices to pay tuition and send them…

As a private school, it is also a smaller setting and those students who need more attention can get it easily. Also, since it was the choice of their parents to make the sacrifices to pay tuition and send them here, there is very often a high parental involvement in the student's education. With a variety of tracks for math, science, english, and history students can challenge themselves in their strengths and maybe get extra help with their weaknesses.
