A program written with Robolab looks like a program flowchart and may make it easier for students to visualize the logical flow of a program.

i looked at the dacta online, and i think it is the same RCX system that we have with the Robotics Invention System 2.0. considering this, I will look into the dacta because it is probably compatible with our current supplies.

i was looking at the Ultimate Accessory kit, does anybody have experience with this that they can tell me if it is good?

Yes, it is the same. Dacta is a more educational focused version of the LEGO Midstorms stuff. All the hardware is compatible with the RCX and components that come in RIS 1.0-2.0.

Yeah, DACTA has a good curriculum set up for LEGO robotics. Try contacting LEGO systems to see if they'll help you out. They're generally pretty good about education.
