[quote=Anonymous]Socially—kids will have an easier transition from mcps to private if moving to a school that starts in HS (vs a k-12 school) or a k-12 that significantly expands in grade sizes from MS to HS. Most if not all privates are able to do more transition/welcome type activities than public simply based on their smaller size and investment in community building. Academically—this is impossible to answer but your best bet is to network with parents with similar profiles at the schools you are targeting. Some private high schools are considerably more challenging than public MS and others will be more similar to what your kid would experience in stepping up to HS level work in public. It will also depend on what classes your child has been taking in mcps. Some of DS’s friend had next to no hw in mcps MS but others had a comparable amount to the private school kids. There’s a big variance here. [/quote]
