Edna Brewer Middle School

We are strongly considering choosing Edna Brewer, our neighborhood public middle school, over private school options.  Are there any parents who would be able to provide current insight as to the strengths and weaknesses of the school and of leadership?  If you have a high achieving student, what has been your child's experience?  I'm curious to know how the teachers have handled differentiated learning given the large class sizes in OUSD.  Also, how academically prepared are students who choose to move on to private high schools?  Thank you.
