[quote=Anonymous]It's so school dependent. DS has been the new kid in a non-entry year twice now. (Neither of these experiences are in the DMV) First time was a miserable experience. Incredibly insular school and it was quickly apparent that non alum parents would always be outsiders. FWIW, non alum parents whose kids entered in kindergarten said it didn't matter that their kid started with everyone else, they were and always will be outsiders. Second school has been much more welcoming. Decent number of alums as parents, but less so that previous school. And the school did a whole lot more to welcome new families, especially new families joining in non-entry years. It does seem that there's more students entering and leaving, so the turnover might have something to do with the more welcoming atmosphere.[/quote]
