[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your school have advanced academics in middle school?

We live in a very average school district but our middle school still has AAP/honors classes. I think 10 elementary schools feed into our middle school and there are enough kids in the honors program that we believe our children will receive a decent education.[/quote]

Our public middle school has no differentiation.  
OP I would do the Catholic school in this situation. Moving is a big deal and I guess if that is an option, go for it. I don't know if that is really realistic for you. In our case it wasn't possible to move to another district.

Middle school is hard enough on kids that I think outside tutoring just for a decent education is a hard sell.

We chose a private school at the under $30k level.  Ds is getting a great education.  The commute is hard and there are some other things that are hard.  We recently toured a CAtholic school that is very good and closer, but I can't make ds start over with new friends again. If we pull him from his private school we will do public and have to supplement outside of school. I am not looking forward to that but he really, really misses his friends.[/quote]
