[quote=Anonymous]My kids (now going into 9th and 11th) attended a MS in VA that was exactly 40% FARMs. There were zero issues. Mostly great teachers, the kids were appropriately challenged, made friends from a range of SES levels, engaged in after school activities, no issues with bullying. DD did complain some about disruptive boys in some classes but the ones she mentioned specifically were from her affluent elementary school, so don't assume it's "the poors" who are disruptive. I'd be much more concerned about sending them to a <5% FARMs/highly affluent school where there is likely to be much more peer pressure around materialism (which was the kind of MS and HS I went to). I think the bigger issue in OPs situation is the big change in school environment and people bringing a bad attitude/expectations into it. Seems like a lot of families are going to go into it looking for problems.[/quote]
