Contention Surrounds School Plan

The small size and attentive advising in Pilot are considered reasons for its students' successes.

"At Pilot, we're identified as a community," says Pilot Dean Jacobson. "We feel there are students for four years."

Now, the community is hoping to extend that sense to everyone.

"I think everyone should have what some of the better houses have to offer," says Alyssa Tingle, a junior in Pilot.

Choice

Choice, students say, is a key component of CRLS--both house choice and the freedom to take classes in different houses.

Yet as it stands, house affiliation often does not extend beyond a student's homeroom location, for students can take classes in every house. (Under the new plan, 11th and 12th graders will still be able to travel beyond their school for the more obscure offerings, but their core teachers should be keeping better track of them.)

"There is a great myth that if you're in a certain program you're going to succeed," but that's not the case, says Caroline Hunter, student government adviser.
