[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can both be good, but if you care a lot about where your kid goes to HS, do k-12. People say you get to “see what kind of kid you have” when applying out at 8th, and that’s true, but there’s no guarantee you get the best school for that kind of kid—[b]lots of people end up at less preferred high schools[/b]. [/quote] That's just not been the case at our K-8. Kids generally have gotten into their first choice, or maybe their second. They may not get into ALL the schools, but they get into the one or second one they want. Meanwhile, we have friends at K-12s who are unhappy but struggle to move for 9th because their school isn't exactly going to bat for them. I don't think there's a perfect formula for all kids, but K-8s have advantages that make sense.[/quote]
