I think your principal and teacher make a lot of sense. I also think that with math, it is definitely true that you don't HAVE to take trig at any particular point. There are plenty of interesting topics they could have explored instead-- discrete math, etc. The main question (I agree with ColinsMum pretty much I guess) is whether they're being challenged enough.
I like the sounds of that private middle school better. Independent projects and no grades? I would have eaten that up at your kids' ages.
