Summary Education Week offers a stunning analysis of the middle school years (grades 6-8). Using concrete data and survey material, the magazine offers an informative, well-rounded look at how American middle schools are shoddily bridging the gap between elementary school and high school, and typically lead to students losing interest in school. An indispensable reference for anyone doing a story on the state of public education.
