[quote=Anonymous]We looked at private school twice: in Kindergarten and in Middle School. We went with public in elementary, then to private for middle -- looking only at PK-8 schools; while we don't love the admissions process (!), our feeling was that the PK-8 experience would foster the kind of middle years experience we wanted our DC to have. When we looked for Kindergarten, I wish someone had told us to look at the middle school students to see if those are the kinds of students you want your children to become. Kindergarten for Kindergarten's sake matters, but what really matters is the kind of student and person the school is helping shape. Our tours focused a lot on the early years, and we were not as wise as we should have been about looking forward as (as noted, in the end we went public for elem, but figured I'd flag in the event it is helpful to others).
