I believe student behavior is better than in Standard /Advanced groups because the students are sometimes around a new set of people and want to put the best foot forward. The students also may become friends with people they had not formerly been friends with. This increases the feeling of school spirit and pride. These friendships also lessen the tension between the Standard and Advanced groups when they are no longer in Academy classes.
I think that behavior is better in the mixed-ability grouping. The students seem to conform to the higher standard of behavior in this grouping. They are often with students that are new to them and this somehow lessens disruptions. We are also able to place students in different sections who tend to misbehave when together.
Students in this setting seem to behave better because they are exposed to those who will behave better. Students who were group together in mixed academies are still friends with those students who were in their academies.
Behavior tends to be better. In my experience, in grouped classes, the behaviorally challenging students seemed to be lumped into one class. With the academies, they do not tend to be.
