[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it hard for the kids to start over at high school, socially? [/quote] There are probably kids who do great and kids who struggle and that might have nothing to do with where they came from. Consider schools that are 9-12 only, everyone is new in 9th. By the time my kids were off to HS, they had several social groups from the neighborhood, school, and sports. There was always someone to reach out to, and maybe you know at least a small group of kids in the new place. I have a current junior who went from MCPS to 9th grade in a K-12. Freshman year was hard, but mostly due to hybrid groups and Covid. Her sport (winter/indoor) was not able to have a season. She met people and found some friends, but really settled into school and her people early sophomore year. My other child thrives on meeting people, went from K-8 to K-12 easily in terms of social life.[/quote]
