I will say that in 9th grade my kid had issues in math class keeping up at the beginning of the year. His math teacher asked were he went to middle school and said Kenmore kids were sometimes behind. Once my kid got used to the demands of HS, he had no problem getting a good grade in intensified algebra 2.

This can be a big deal if you have a gifted kid.

Kenmore kids were "sometimes" behind. Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the greater likelihood that those Kenmore kids were EL students or Sped students and would be behind regardless of where they went to middle school, could it?
