[quote=Anonymous]Different children are different.  Different (Montessori) schools are different.   Different publics are different, even within a single public school system.  Do whatever is best for your DC.  Any school will have some teachers who are better, and some not as good.  If you are confident in current school and your current teacher(s), then any change might be partly a gamble on which teacher/classroom the new school assigns DC to.

Concrete suggestion is to visit/observe the public K, and visit/observe DC’s current school’s K, and slso observe maybe any other schools’ K which you are considering.  Then compare/contrast inside your head and try to find the best fit for your DC.

For us, we stayed with Montessori through 3rd, then DC moved into Fairfax County’s AAP.  Smaller class sizes, more individualized instruction, reasonable transportation logistics, and knowing we happened to already have good quality teachers all were factors for us.  That was best path for our DC, but it might not have been best for a different DC (or in a different locality).
