It depends on how you define a "good middle school program." I would argue that it has very little to do with winning State middle school championships or games and has much more to do with coaching the fundamentals of the game and having excellent facilities to properly train and develop these young kids. Schools like MUS and Brentwood Academy have a huge advantage when it comes to coaching staffs, weight room, rehab facilities, practice fields, etc. mostly b/c they are private schools and have lots of $$$. The junior development programs at these schools are WORLD CLASS and most of the kids who attend are already overachievers in the classroom.
Of course, where those schools fall short is in numbers. The talent pool is only so big when you have 75-125 boys per grade at those schools. Regardless, look for CDD to snap up kids from these type of in-state schools when they have the talent to play in the SEC -- they are just the type of kids he is looking for.
