Well, we only have one middle school here in Sudbury. I've heard both good and bad reports that absolutely conflict with each other.
- I've heard that kids can get really lost in the system because the school is so big, and I've also heard that the way they break down each grade into teams makes it manageable and most kids don't find it problematic.
- I've heard that bullying is a huge problem in the school, and I've also heard from other parents that the school administration is incredibly aware of it all and is on top of it...They don't allow it and don't let kids get away with it.

So... I have a 5th grader right now, and we'd like to know what to expect next year. Can anyone chime in with their thoughts, and specific experiences to clear up the ambiguities? Thanks!
