[quote=Anonymous]We’re in a similar area - we have great public schools and most people use them at least for elementary and middle. We’re switching to private next year for our oldest who will be in 9th. While a good number switch to private for HS, I also sometimes feel a little awkward telling neighbors or friends whose kids are staying in public for HS that we’re switching. I think the best way to go is to keep the focus on your kid. I usually say something like - “the private just is a really great fit for him” or “he has a few friends who go there and love it and he also fell in love with it after his shadow visit.” Both of these statements are completely true, although DH and I also have some complaints about our public middle that made us start looking at private for HS. But, I don’t mention these to anyone whose kids are staying in public.[/quote]
