academics-wise it would be better to put your child in an English medium school,because when your child will start his/her higher education English is the compulsory subject.I have seen many of my Hindi/Marathi and Gujarati medium classmates find English very difficult,in coll.and as a result it is affecting their total percentage.
you can make sure that ur child is well versed in his mother tongue by speaking to him in Gujarati and asking and guiding him to translate it in English.
this way he/she will be able to say what he/she wants to in both the languages,improving your child’s vocabulary and communications skills.
