[quote=Anonymous]DD's currently in a preschool that feeds into a private school running through grade 8. She's an only, will be an only, and we're trying to figure out what to do... I know K in public schools is often a mix of kids who have been to school before, kids who went to school part-time and kids with zero school experience. We're debating keeping her in private for K, K-2, or K-8.

Now my parents had me in a private and switched me to public in 5th grade. I did not adjust well... and of course am hyper sensitive to that for my child, but I also want to put her in the best place academically. Are we over thinking this? Should we just switch her to public for K, with most of her friends, and leave it at that? Or just keep her at private through 8th? But then we'd have to figure out where to send her for high school...

I know I'm overthinking this, so talk some sense into me :) DH is also on the fence, his greatest concern is that K in public will be wasted for DD, where as if she stays at private for K she will have a better year. It would be a little tight but we could afford the school (plus they don't close nearly as often as FFX for snow). [/quote]
