[quote=Anonymous]We're inbound for one of the elementary schools in UNW that's considered very good, but are considering private for fall 2023 pre-k a variety of reasons.  Without getting into the overall pros/cons of public vs private, I'm curious specifically about going from these public elementary schools to private either in upper elementary years, or for 6th grade.  I know it's common, but I'm nervous about going to public and either (1) realizing it's not a good fit, and then not being able to get into a top private (we're currently at a "feeder" preschool and feel pretty good about our chances if we go private for pre-k), or (2) it's a good experience, but not being able to get into a good school at 6th grade, since we don't plan to do public middle school.  Any experiences/insights would be much appreciated.  And because I know it will come up--we can afford tuition, but aren't so wealthy that we wouldn't notice the extra $40k+/year (and even moreso the $80k once our second is in school).[/quote]
