Thanks for your reply. Well - I may be worried because middle school was awful for me, bad things happening many years ago. I know this doesn't apply to her.

I do know, first hand, of some things happening at the school that I don't agree with - dating in 6th grade, facilitated by parents. I think my daughter, at this point, could weather all that, she is very much a kid. But would it be stressful?

SHe is very happy where she is, likes everyone and is well liked. It's less than half the size of the middle school.

I don't believe in private either - honestly will be difficult for me if we go that way. I worry about the class issues.

She can do Latin in HS in public....

Thanks so much!
