Small vs. Bailey Middle School (Austin: middle schools, relocating to, location)

[doshijas]

My family is relocating to Austin this fall and I am looking for a middle school for my 13-year-old daughter. Because of my job location, I am looking in southwest Austin, and I've narrowed it down to Small Middle School and Bailey Middle School. I'm looking for anyone's opinions and/or previous experiences with either of these schools. Thanks!

There is a brand new middle school going in that will quite possibly affect the school boundaries, so be aware of that....otherwise, I think both those middle schools are highly regarded.

Thanks, Trainwreck 20, for the info. Does anyone know how the attendance boundaries for Small and Bailey middle schools have changed and, again to the original question, have any thoughts/experiences about either one?
