[quote=Anonymous]Not going to answer these questions as they are way too identifying, but I will say this: I have two kids in elementary. One goes to private, one goes to public. The one in public goes to a "JKLM" school. We have been extremely happy with the public education in early elementary. While DC wants to join their sibling eventually at private, we are sort of pushing for them to stay through 5th (although we will take it one year at a time and respect their wishes if they want to go sooner). DC in public is thriving and very happy. It wouldn't have been as good a fit for our older child and so this answer is very child dependent. For us, cost is not an issue so we could send DC to private now but we are happy in the neighborhood public so don't feel the need. From what I can tell so far, there hasn't been a huge difference in the early years between public and private, but we will definitely be gone by middle school. Most of our friends that left did so between 4-6 grades. [/quote]
