They now have information and applications for the 6th grade that is starting next fall. Here is a link to their website and the application.

Just a preview on the application. It is NOT based on merit, enrollment is completely lottery based which surprised me.
I find a few things interesting about this school and it's situation. One is that there will only be a 6th grade for this year so there will be no 7th or 8th graders leading the way, this could be good or bad depending on your viewpoint. The middle school years can be dicey so with only high school students as examples it could pull the 6th graders up to a higher level of behavior and expectations. Or the 6th graders could feel a bit lost and isolated.
Another thing to consider is all new teachers establishing a new middle school. I expect there may be some growing pains.
On the flip side it is very hard to argue with this schools track record.
Thoughts anyone?
