PRO: The faculty and staff are able to make incredible transformations in students' learning and lives by their positive relationships and best instructional practices. Just this week I heard a from student who had attended Good and then moved to another school: "I wanted to come to this [weekend event at Good] because I really miss it here. (Why?) I miss the people, and it's more fun."
CON: To have students scoring in the lowest range on assessments grouped into one class seems to stifle learning due to disruptive behaviors. If all or most classes strategically grouped students with a variety of ability levels, the model students could teach the lower ones problem solving strategies, socializing, and reading / other academic skills.
