[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't love my middle school public options, so am thinking of applying to Private for my child. I don't love what I hear/read about private US as a pressure cooker and wonder if others move to public for High School? Is this common?[/quote] If you got to the private middle school and realized the fit was poor/tuition was unmanageable/commute was horrid? Then sure, that's a reasonable decision. But I wouldn't go through all the work and stress of applying for 6th/7th grade at a K-12 (for example), knowing that we were just going to leave again in a couple years. That just feels like an unnecessary complication to avoid something that may not even be a problem. My general advice would be to pick a school where you feel good about staying through the terminal grade. If you have a kid who doesn't do well in high pressure environments (my oldest is like that!), there are some K-12 and 6-12 options in the area that could be ideal. [/quote]
