[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I would prefer a standalone middle school, so that my 12 year old isn't having to deal with 18 year olds on the bus, in the hallways, etc.  if your choice is AAP in 7-12 school or honors in 7-8, I'm not sure which I'd choose- probably whichever was a better fit socially and more convenient.[/quote]

My understanding is that there are different busses and different hallways.  There are so many MS students and HS students at these schools that they are usually in two different buildings -- they just share a hallway somewhere and the campus.  They break the classes into groups or cohorts so students can deal with fewer people all at once.  They usually take their primary classes with their group.  They will see other students in their electives, but not 18 year olds. [/quote]

hey 10:10 which school are you talking about?  I agree that I thought most have separate buses & hallways.  I went to Hayfield years ago and never saw the other side of the building. Currently in the South County district, and have two separate buildings, but I thought LB & Robinson still had separate buses/hallways.[/quote]
