[quote=Anonymous]Kids go from parochial (Parish) and Independent K8’s to public high schools all the time. Every year in every class in every Catholic school some do this. Depending on the school and the year, this ranges from a few to several to quite a few.

The kids don’t anything of it. Neither do the parents.

Kids headed to different Catholic high schools don’t suddenly become the rivals they will be in a year or so. People “get it”! That you’ve shared the K8 experience is enough for them.

Those heading to the Catholic high schools are excited about their choice. But neither the kids of the parents say anything or for that matter think anything about it. It’s not some sort of rare occurrence.

We’ve had three kids go through this transition and watched scores of other kids and their families decide.

I have NEVER heard of anyone taking their kids out of a Catholic K8 so they could avoid the discomfort associated with not going to their first choice high school even if the alternative is a public school.[/quote]
