[quote=Anonymous]I had my child at a "mega" school that is now a small school (ASFS) and I completely agree with the above poster. The area around Innovation/ASFS has a lot of apartments/state department folks, so it was very transient, and most of my kids knew very few kids in their class year to year. They made it a point to move kids around a lot so that it would be better socially for them -- that way there aren't any pre-existing cliques for the kids that are new or don't know many kids. Either way, it ended up with my eldest going through elementary with 1-2 close friends (from our neighborhood) and 30+ acquaintances. She is fine and really thrived in that situation, but I can see it not being a good fit for some kids. Now ASFS is so much smaller, I didn't realize how much nicer a small school is. Even with COVID, I feel like there's more one on one attention. [/quote]
