When I asked our middle school about sending our son to high school for math they said that different block schedules in the two schools would make it impossible. One school has an N-day schedule, the other has an M-day schedule, and M is not equal to N. If they considered that some gifted middle school students should be taking high school classes, maybe they would have set M equal to N, but gifted students don't officially exist in most of Massachusetts. Unofficially there are a lot of them.
