[quote=Anonymous]My DCs are 5 years apart and have always attended different privates. We were new to the area with the oldest DC and made a different choice for youngest DC based on what we learned.

When they were both at different privates, it was very difficult logistically. Eventually, the oldest DC wanted a bigger school so moved to public for high school. Managing one private/ one public has been much easier than managing two privates. We found that the different school environments of the two privates were very difficult to combine in one family. Each school had a clear school culture and often seemed to conflict- back to school nights were always on the same night, major school events often conflicted, and fundraising/volunteering often conflicted. When the oldest started public, the events almost never conflict. We like to be an involved family and our DCs like to do extracurriculars in and out of school, so this was much more manageable with the public/private combination than two private schools.[/quote]
