[quote=Anonymous]Both great schools.  I would focus on ending age. There are upsides and downsides to both 3rd and 6th. Transitioning at 3rd grade is transitioning right in the middle of childhood.  If you are sure you want to go to the Cathedral schools, that is not such a big deal because your child will go with a larger community. If not, you are asking them to start over in 4th grade, which is right when kids become tween socially-oriented beings. But, 7th grade is also transitioning as an older tween, which is no picnic.  If you have two younger children, a school that ends at 3rd grade also means that all your children will not be at the same school at the same time or not for long.  I speak from experience that splitting your energy between more than one school with different calendars and schedules is a pain.  However, it might mean that you can transition all your kids to the same upper school earlier and save the split school situation on the back end.

Then focus on commute, although those schools are pretty close together so it might not matter.

If all else fails, go where you think your kid and your family will be happiest now and deal with the future in the future.  Kids change, families change, priorities change.  You can only decide about now and what feels right now.
