Heterogeneous Classes / Description

At Harper Park we blend Honors level and Academic level in the same classroom for Science, English and History. This has been a common practice for the past 8 years.

94 % to 97% of students sign up for Honors Level classes. This is a self select process.

Teachers teach to the Honors level in these classes but offer other alternatives for assessments / assignments and differentiate for the Academic students.
