[quote=Anonymous]Personally I would start in MS. ES is such a special time and if you have a good ES (like most Arlington ES) then you're kids will be fine. They'll make lots of friends in the neighborhood and on sports teams/other activities. ES is a hard time if your private is close by because there's so much time you spend in the school, its just a more hectic time. MS is good b/c truly all MS suck for the most part and its a natural time to change. We waited till HS with our oldest and is was very hard for her to leave her friends. Our other started in MS and its been a really good transition. We are in Arlington with a good school pyramid FWIW, but too many kids fly under the radar due to the class sizes. DD had 30 in her math class before going to private. We thought she struggled but actually she wasn't being challenged- no teacher had noticed before. (we learned this at her private).[/quote]
