[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in a district in the midwest where one of the middle schools is, I guess you could say, "prone to violence" in that there are regular fights in the cafeteria, all the microscopes have been broken, various kids smell of pot, 50+% free/reduced lunch, etc. It is the "bad" school in our district. That said, my colleague's daughter is there, and she just stays removed from it, taking honors classes where possible.  There are a critical mass of academically-inclined, behaved kids, even if they are the minority. You can always nerdy kids in theater and marching band if your dd is that type. I would 100% send my kids to that school, at least to start, over the small Christian school, since there are so many academic and extracurricular activities, and she would be removed from the main disciplinary issues, even if it would be distracting at times.

Being poor, smelling of pot, etc, have nothing to do with “prone to violence.” Jesus you people are the worst. [/quote]
