[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is interesting because most of the private schools in NYC split earlier rather than later. Lower school is K-4 while middle school is 5-8. [/quote] I think this makes a lot more sense TBH. I grew up with K-5, 6-8, 9-12 but I would be in favor of K-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12. I think kids need at least three years at a school to really form any sense of attachment/comfort and this way the kids would be with kids more similar in age. I actually think there is a much bigger gap between a 9th and 12th grader than a 6th to 8th grader. And my 5th grader has zero interest in being around Kindergartners.[/quote]
