  1. Our son has been at LACES since 6th grade and our hope is that his sister Megan will follow. I would be happy to talk to anyone about the pros and con's of the school. LACES is definitely not a school for every child.
    My suggestion when looking at middle schools is to go with your gut as a parent. You and only you know your child. Middle school today isn't what you remember as a child.
    Good Luck!

  2. Diane, thanks for this insight! Can you elaborate on why LACES is a good match for your son and perhaps your daughter? And do you have any ideas on how it could be a poor fit?
