[quote=Anonymous]I do [u]not[/u] feel that accelerated curriculum trumps everything, especially for middle school -- I'd look at the school as a whole. My kids went to a middle school which had a lot of problem kids, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned for their safety at times. Consider lunchtime, gym, before and after school, and clubs -- these are the times when a lot of fights, bullying, etc. occur. Think about where your DD will be happier and more comfortable, OP. Having sent several children off to college, I can tell you that the middle school years have very, very little bearing on the overall picture when it comes time to apply to colleges, and those years from grade 6-8 can be some tough years in any child's life, so keep all of that in mind when making your decision.
