[quote=Anonymous]We considered both entry points and ended up doing 9th (at Whitman). It was really no problem to enter in 9th. While there are some classes that require teacher recs, that only applies coming from the middle school. Coming from outside the system, DC was able to pick his classes, including the ones requiring teacher recs (I think that was just AP Gov in 9th). There was a reasonable size group of new kids in 9th grade, and if there were middle school cliques those seemed to change as the kids got to high school and DC was able to make plenty of friends. Probably easier for boys than girls. Can't say how entering in 8th would have compared since we didn't do it. [/quote]
