Does anyone have any feedback on the above schools?
I am looking for feedback for the school in general, with special relevance to Middle School section.

Areas to note :
-Academics. Are they rigorous? Do they offer accelerated courses?
-Student population. Are the kids generally well behaved and there to learn, or just there to network and have fun? Is there a "rich man" culture?
- Diversity.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I really don't, as my children are much younger. But to add to your list (of what I think are all great schools) SACS & Keystone.

Unsure if this is something you are interested in.

Middle school for boys would be San antonio Academy. Academics are rigorous and leadership skills are well taught.
Many people say Keystone is more academically challenged than SAA and is coed. Keystone kids usually continue there thru high school; SAA kids go to various high schools but locally a lot go to Alamo Heights. It's a tight knit group.
I have many friends who went to both and their children do go as well.
My son tho is now 13 attends AH Jr school; he was going to be enrolled at SAA but we found out he has a serious vision impariment and decided to put him in the AH system mainly because they have one heck of a vision program for him, something we would have not gotten inthe private sector.
So, the tradition of going to SAA in our family has stopped..

Thank you all for you replies.
I have taken note of our suggestions.
By now, March priority admissions have closed. It is harder to get into the popular schools.
