Doubt it. You’ll be missing their annual battery of testing the public schools do.

Dont know many families doing this as they went private for small grade sizes and small class sizes. TJ or Blair are great stem, but the opposite.

TJ admissions do not depend on annual testing at public schools though.

If one wants to have a good chance while applying at TJ, which grade is the best time to switch from a small private to public? Middle school, or before that?
