Simmons and Bumpus played for their division Metro championship in 2005 and 2006. Simmons won both times, but both teams are terrifically strong. If you're really only interested in football at each place, you'd be great with either one.

Academics are different. Bumpus has a stronger academic focus. Simmons isn't far behind, but Bumpus does outweigh Simmons in that category. Bumpus offers advanced classes while Simmons does not. Never did understand that.

I personally know the Math Team teacher at Simmons. I regard her as one of the most fantastic teachers I have ever met. Advanced reading...eh...aren't we already suppoused to know how to read in middle school? Honestly, 'reading' is a waste of a class. In my opinion it could be taken out and something more productive could be put in...but that's just me.
