[quote=Anonymous]      Agree with above posts, but you need to look closely at your grade placement and the type of kid you have and what is important to you.   Lowell began as a pre- primary to 3d school, later it expanded to 6th and now just expanded to 8th so that middle school is very new.  Lowell is probably stronger in humanities across the board than math, but it depends how you view it and in our last years they improved the science program.  In my view, Lowell works best for kids who work best with relatively less structure -- the progressive thing.  But middle school is a different issue because it is new and small -- that can be great or it can be too limiting  so it really depends on what    you want.  Ironically, we moved to St Andrews where our DD combined two years of math in one to get into the most accelerated track heading into high school and she wanted to do to more with music and sports which was easier at a middle attached to a high school.  But both our kids are strong students across the board and would be at any school (based on standardized tests) so Lowell fundamentals must have been solid (and sure, consider this a plug for St Andrew's for high school too to any other Lowell families that may ever read this and be looking around after Lowell graduation).
