[quote=Anonymous]No, you aren't crazy.  Plenty of people defer, whether for language immersion, sibling continuity, before/after care concerns, bell schedules...you won't be alone.  At our base school (KP/KG) the AART said appx half the kids stayed last year.

We chose KM because Kings Park was doing the cluster model, which I want nothing to do with as either a teacher or a parent.  Academically, things have been great.  I do miss the community feel (only 1 other child in our neighborhood rides the bus so there is no getting to talk to other parents at the bus stop and only a few even attend, so no carpooling to school events).

We had no ties to the base school because we were new to FCPS, but had we been part of a close knit school community it would have been a lot harder to decide.

If you have specific KM questions let me know.  I do agree that it's not a warm fuzzy school (the principal is VERY cold and no nonsense and super inflexible IME) but I've been pleased with the specials, the library, the counselors, the classmates.[/quote]
