[quote=Anonymous]We know of families that came to our K-8 for MS  in 5th, 6th and then went back to public for HS and loved their schools.

But there were also those who chose to apply out to and attend private HS.  I will say it was not usually the pressure cooker private schools for those families.

We also know of a few who went from private MS to a public school for 9th and then back to private for HS in 10th-12th because the child didn't feel their local public was a good fit.

Note all of the below are not uncommon among families that started at our private for MS:
 
- families who intentionally planned on returning to public HS.

- families that went to public HS as their backup option - having applied to private and magnet but were ok with their local public if not accepted to the private/magnet

- because we don't know of any that ended up at the highly competitive private - I suspect that many of the kids that landed at public HS had also applied to the Big3/Big 5 but didn't get in. Their local HS were MoCo W's. (but note - there genuinely are many that never apply to any private) [/quote]
