[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the result traumatic for the kids?  The splitting seems silly since there are six middle schools and three high schools, so it seems an obvious solution would be a direct two-to-one... [/quote]

The sizes of the buildings don't align so that's why they do it. It can be bumpy but traumatic seems like a huge overstatement. One of my kids shifted his friend group in MS and then they all went to a different HS. Still, most of the kids he'd been friends with in ES were at the HS so there were familiar faces and he quickly made new ones. And, social media makes it a whole lot easier to stay connected to friends who go to a different school. My other kid has had the same two BFFs since 2nd grade but expanded that circle in MS and then again in HS. Learning to navigate the social transitions is a good thing IMO and helpful to have practice with that before heading off to college. I do worry a little about the one who has always had the safety of those BFFs, college will be a challenge!
