[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]True of my DC's big 3. Kids at or near the top of the class academically don't leave for HS unless the family moves out of town. Kids who aren't getting what they need/want and/or whose parents assume they'll do better elsewhere are the ones who leave at that point. [/quote] Our public HS has many kids come in from k-8s. Mine was one of them and is in the top 5% of the class. Fewer are leaving big 3 schools since they go through 12th grade but we certainly have a few. There is one family that moved their kids from one of the Big 3 and both went on to Ivy League colleges so one assumes that they weren't total duds. So our experience is that there are plenty of very talented kids coming in from private schools to our public school. And yes, they tend to be behind in math and, surprisingly, language.[/quote]
