[quote=Anonymous]We'd like to move DD to private school in 6th or 9th grade (we have mixed feelings about our middle school option - we're in MoCo but not a "W" cluster). Our top choice is GDS and while I know there is no guaranty of entry, reading the Holton thread made me wonder about something.  In the Holton thread, a poster said that is was very helpful to transition to Holton by middle school because the middle school really helps prepare the kids for the rigorous courseload they will need to handle in high school.  I wondered if that holds true for GDS as well - I'd love to save the money and send DD to private only for high school, but I don't want her to really struggle academically - to start "behind the eight ball" as it were.  For those who have children who've gone to GDS through middle and high school, what are your thoughts?  Do you see a difference between the high schoolers at GDS who came from public or a K-8 private vs. having been at GDS through middle school?  Thanks for your thoughts and advice.  [/quote]
