[quote=Anonymous]OP, my son is in a private k-5 school.   MANY parents just sent their kids to the private kindergarten and then switched out to public.  I have a bunch of older teacher friends who have been teaching elementary for decades and they said switching in elementary is the easiest all around.

Having said that, we plan to do K-8 in private.   You will see your child change from year to year, and you will be better able to gauge any social issues that arise, and can plan accordingly.

Keep in mind, too, that school will not be her only social circle.  She may develop hobbies or join activities that she follows year after year, and within these, she will also have groups of friends.    It's a little more difficult when you don't go to the neighborhood school, but not impossible.  My son plays with neighborhood kids and has a set of friends at the pool.  He runs into the same kids in his baseball league.

I don't think you can go wrong by private kindergarten for sure, and then reassess as the year goes on.   Good luck.[/quote]
