What reading level is A Good School book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Speaking in his most solemn tones at assembly, W. Alcott Knoedler announced a new program of “wartime discipline.” He didn’t make clear exactly what this would entail, beyond an increase in the community-service workload, a more austere diet, and the need to black-out all windows during air-raid drills, but he managed to imbue it with a spirit of sacrifice. “Our nation is at war,” he said, “and we will conduct ourselves accordingly.”
The Alumni News column of the Dorset Chronicle became filled t...o overflowing with reports of military assignments, and soon there was even a death: someone from the class of ’38 had been killed in the Pacific.
Harold “Choppy” Tyler, the athletic director, designed and built what he insisted on calling a “commando course” in the woods behind the refectory. It was finished by early spring, and everyone in the three upper forms was required to go through it once a day. First you dropped into a chin-deep foxhole and had to scramble out, then came a high wooden wall that you had to scale (some boys went over it easily, others had to hang trembling by the hands or armpits until they managed to work one foot over the top, still others sneaked around it when Choppy wasn’t looking).
