[quote=Anonymous]I did the opposite.  We left private for Somerset and are really happy with our choice.  Here are some of the reasons why:

1)I feel like the private just didn't have the same resources for differentiation (my kids were bored) and I really like the multiple reading and math levels at Somerset;

2) I was having a hard time with the sense of entitlement and snobbery at the private and like the community of Somerset so much better (after all, I like the neighborhood so much, I bought a house there!);

3) I like the balance of power better at Somerset -- all parents have the same access to teachers, resources, principals, etc.  At the private, I really felt like some rules were overlooked for those parents who donated huge amounts;

4) for the very few things that I miss about the private, I have found substitutes for in the community (the savings differential is staggering!);

I think you need to think about exactly what you hope to gain over Somerset by going private and making sure that the schools you are looking at actually will provide it.
