In English language arts, students analyze literature, reading nonfiction texts and writing several pieces to demonstrate they can read and understand sufficiently complex texts independently. They are also required to write effectively when using and analyzing sources and build and communicate knowledge by integrating, comparing, and synthesizing ideas. Students are also expected to develop speaking, presentation, and listening skills for effective communication.
In math classes, students are expected to be able to solve problems involving the key knowledge and skills for their grade level, express mathematical reasoning and construct mathematical arguments, and apply learned concepts to solve model real-world problems.

Chalk Talk: Early Decision vs. Early Action
When looking at college acceptance rates, it’s easy to see that early applicants have often significantly higher acceptance rates, but this can be more complex than it appears. There are several kinds of early applications, but the primary types are Early Decision (ED) and Early Action (EA). ED applications are early, often with a deadline of November 1st, binding applications. This means that students sign a contract stating that they will attend this college if accepted. This is helpful to students because since it’s an early application, students compete against fewer students, and the fact that they are willing to apply ED shows a lot of enthusiasm for the school, but there can be drawbacks. If the student receives a better financial aid package elsewhere, for example, s/he is still bound to attend the college to which s/he applied ED. EA applications, on the other hand, are also early, often with deadlines of November 15th, but they aren’t binding, so students are free to take better offers while still enjoying the benefit of competing against fewer applicants.
