[quote=Anonymous]K-12 can seem like a long time in one place. We are at one and our child is now in middle school. She perceives it as being a rather small environment. While we suspect she will stay there for high school, we will let her look at a few other schools and decide if she wants to apply elsewhere. It's a good exercise in assessing what she values and having her take ownership of her own education as well as recommitting to her current school. I have friends who teach who really love the K-8 model. I think it really depends on the extent to which the middle school is its own robust and largely independent entity or if it is more of an afterthought. At our K-12 the middle school division is excellent and there is no way we would allow our child to go elsewhere during these formative years when puberty, mean girl behavior, and changing social dynamics surface.
