I went to middle school here, 5th-8th grade. I'll start out by saying that the idea that they give you about being the best is crap. They tell you that you are honors kids, and that it is a tough education. Yes, I did do A LOT of work. On my first day I stayed up till 1 in the morning doing homework. That was 5th grade homework. I loved some of the teachers, Mr. Abbott, Ms. Claire, Mr. Brown, they were fantastic and I did learn a lot. I did not learn as much as they tell you, and tell the parents. Overall, some of the teachers were great, some terrible, but I guess thats in every school. When I moved into highschool, I was in all AP classes, and had to drop out of a few. If I had kids, I would not send them here. Believe it or not, honor roll kids in public schools can beat most of these kids in any class. They put out the idea that is it 'elite' and is the best of the best, and for few, that is true. In the end, most of the kids end up going to ASU or UA (Go Wildcats), although there were some that ended up at Yale and such. Summary? Don't send your kids there. Save your money.
