[quote=Anonymous]Middle school is so tricky.  I had dinner with a friend on Monday with a child who just started high school.  He went to one of the best-regarded and wealthiest middle schools in Fairfax County.  He was routinely physically bullied - the parents think he was targeted because he has learning disabilities and does not read well.  He grew a lot over the summer and high school is going a lot better.  In a way, that middle school would seem like a no-brainer - a great school with high-test scores, free for children lucky enough to be in-boundary.  And it was atrocious for that child.   I had a pretty miserable middle school experience socially at the best private school in the town we lived in.  I am watching Elliot Hine and haven't ruled it out for my kids.  My oldest is in 2nd. We will also look at privates, Inspired Teaching, 2Rs, EL Haynes, Latin, etc.   I think social development is so important in the middle school years and I want my child to be in an environment that supports that.
