[quote=Anonymous]Coming in at 6th grade can be hard. I believe it helps if your child has a connection to GDS or knows people there. Otherwise it is not that large of an inflow year and the adjustment can be hard. Then in 7th the academics ratchet up and you have Bar/Bat Mitzvah season which creates additional social pressure, and the struggles can snowball. Entry in 9th seems easier because there is a larger group of new kids, and generally if they were able to gain admission they are able to handle the load. I don't think that not having attended the MS puts a student at a disadvantage in the HS. Others may disagree. [/quote]
