[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are wise to consider this issue.  You might want to ask the admissions director of the school where the school seems to draw many or most of its families from.  In our case, we do live right near DD's private school, but unfortunately, virtually none of her friends do.  All live a good half hour away -- and close to each other.  So this means that DD's friends are very busy with playdates with one another after school, but there are no school friends for her to play with.  So far she doesn't seem bothered by this because she is busy with neighborhood friends and friends from sports, but I suspect that in a year or two, she will begin to feel left out, esp as her 4 close friends all carpool together to and from school.  I am not saying I would not pick this school again for her - I would - but it would have been helpful going in to have recognized that it would take effort to make sure she connected with neighborhood girls(she does Girl Scouts, which has helped) and also to make sure to nurture friendships through sports and camps.
