Saxon Math was and still is awesome.
I thought Abeka was ok for science but unless you are a very serious history buff and care about details like who DL Moody’s song leader was, find something else for social studies.
We did Rod and Staff for English and reading which gave the kids a very solid foundation for English.
However, it get very diffiult in the last few grades, they quit at 8th, so we found other stuff to do for English. Plus R&S is definitely geared towrds Mennonites. The pictures in them, mostly drawings, were all of children in classic Mennonite dress.
We used ABeka until myelinaton set in then it was Saxon Math for our two. Saxon was great. They did a little of each of the 5 subjects daily. By January they had finished the books on science and history, thus they doubled up on the math. Because composition and reports were more subjective than objective we had others oversee that subject. Our 16 year old took a course in a local college in English, the two semesters in Spanish, so she entered college at 18 with 12 credits that transferred.
Teaching Textbooks were also quality materials in our view. Our two also liked the way the subjects were approached and explained in TT.
