[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was accepted to Level IV and is going into 7th grade. Is it worth it to send them across town to attend a center, just to end up back in local secondary school for 9th or send them with peer group to take honors at the assigned secondary school? Any thoughts? 
Thanks in advance[/quote]
7th is a mix up year socially anyway, so I would send them out to get the best education possible at a center, then when they return, they will also be returning with new friends that also have to come back for 9th.[/quote]

Agreed. High school is a great reset point, socially. [/quote]

Disagree. It depends on the pyramid but at many schools, the same middle school kids are the same kids in high school.  No reset.

OP, it depends on the school but I stick with the base middle school.  Most of them have Level IV now too.[/quote]

OP here, the base school is a secondary, and there is no Level IV there. My concern is that we would return to the secondary for 9-12 and then peer groups would be already made.[/quote]

You will be able to pupil place to the AAP center for 9-12 if desired.  You'd just have to do transportation.  I teach at Robinson and a lot of the lake braddock AAP kids just stay there for high school, saying they want AP vs. IB or a language that isn't offered at one or something.[/quote]

My assumption is this is Robinson / LB too. Our neighbor did what PP is mentioning. DD came back to go to Robinson though - as did most of the kids in her AAP class that were Robinson zoned. The uncertainty of being able to place for 9-12 and knowing we would have to drive her there made us leery of the AAP LB route. [/quote]

Yes. Most of the LB AAP kids zoned for Robinson go to Robinson. Even more zoned for West Springfield go to West Springfield since that is also an AP school.[/quote]
