Our school system in the late 60's near Stanford University used a mixed grade level arrangement with all students learning a 4-year curriculum delivered in reasonable class sizes, with appropriate 'level' groupings. We also had 'lanes' and 'AP' classes which amounted to independent studies within the departments with pass/fail grading of those course offerings. There was also a connection with the local Junior Collages and Stanford as well. Our community benefited ghreatly by recognizing the different 'levels' children gain knowledge and understanding of our ever-changing culture.
