[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There has been some research that shows that K-8's are better for kids in the middle school years.  [b]I also think that going through the looking at schools, applying, interviewing, process and then having to make friends and find your place in a new community at that 8th/9th grade age (whether you are coming from a K-8, a public middle school or transferring from another K-12) makes the college application process and social transition to college less daunting[/b].

This may be true for some kids.  I'm a PP who went to a K-12 and applied to 12 colleges around the country and ended up at one on the other side from where I grew up and I didn't find the college application process difficult or the social transition to college daunting in the least.  I could also see the reverse, which is that kids were so stressed out from the high school application process and perhaps didn't end up where they wanted so then they spend four years worrying about college applications.  So [/quote]
