Founded by parents, this blog aims to help us all navigate the many options for middle school in Los Angeles. Rather than go at it alone, we share information to help make the best, informed choices for each individual child. Why reinvent the wheel? Welcome…and join the conversation!
This is a collaborative effort—please contribute! If you know of a great school that's missing, please post at "Suggest A School Here" (left column) and tell us what you know about it.
Getting Started
Why reinvent the wheel each year? If everyone has to figure this out, let's put our collective heads together and share what we know so no one is left in the dark.
Take a look around.
Take advantage of this resource of facts and opinions of other parents and students.
Great! So now what? COMMENT if you have something to share, good or bad. (Please be brief and concise.) Just scroll down the page of a school (select from THE BUCKET on the left of every page) and type in the "Post a Comment" box.
Keep in mind—there are more schools out there! If you hear of a good school that isn't here (let's focus on the desirable schools), tell us about it. Just add a comment to the post "Suggest a School" (top of left column). We'll be notified and will create a page for that school, to be featured in our index.
The handy summary of all school tour dates is consolidated on THE LIST, so we can find crucial info on a single page. I volunteer to create and maintain the site, but you all need to provide the relevant content to make this a more valuable resource.
(THE LIST will be updated in September 2012, when more tour dates are expected to become available.)

**Suggest a School**
If you don't see a school here yet, please suggest it! Just make a comment to this post, including school name, basic info, tour dates, and what you know about it.
That's how this site will grow.
