[quote=Anonymous]Our oldest is in 4th grade and we’re starting to think about sending him to private. We’ve been happy with our public school for elementary school but we’re not in a very academic district. As my kids get older, I want them to be prepared for college. Additionally, the graduating class size is 500 kids and it’s basically impossible to make sports teams unless you’re dedicated to one sport. We’re trying to decide if we start in 6th grade or wait till 9th grade. My hesitancy about 6th grade is that I don’t think my son needs to worry too much about academics in middle school and that I would like to save the money. But I’m worried about public middle school - his school goes from 100 kids per grade to 300-400 kids per grade. For those who chose to switch their kids from public to private, is 6th or 9th grade a better option? [/quote]
