[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We're entering kindergarten and it's a Powell/Whittier/Barnard type school that is developing some by-in in the community, but doesn't have a desirable middle school feeder. Not looking to discuss middle schools, just the upper elementary experience since we wouldn't want to take a seat then feel like we need to keep playing the lottery to move on in another few years.[/quote]

The upper elementary experience is largely determined by the popularity of the middle school so you can't really avoid the topic.

Having said that I think all three of those schools are well regarded and you would be fine, although if your child is above grade level might feel more and more like an academic outlier in upper grades.  The quality of differentiation depends on each classroom teacher's skill and motivation IMO.

How comfortable are you rolling the dice.in the 6th grade lottery and what would you do if you had a bad number?

Don't fall for CMI.  Those test scores on high income kids are appalling.  So many people at our HRCS fled from CMI.[/quote]
