[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were worried that our bright kid would be bored in a public school. DH went to public and was rarely challenged academically. With a small class size, teachers can do more to differentiate in a private school. DC is still bored at times, but teachers have been trying to provide them with the materials that are on their level. [/quote]
If your kid is really that smart, they can make it into the public magnets which is superior to privates.

I'd put my kid in private if they needed the small class sizes though.[/quote]

DP but [b]that’s not until middle school.[/b]  Our oldest is in public K and we have a number of concerns, are considering switching for 2nd (and younger sibling), but would likely return to public for middle.  DD is doing okay but it just seems like such a roll of the dice every year in our public and neighboring ones (violence, kids acting out, etc.).[/quote]
Do you mean for your specific school district or generally? Because our zoned public elementary is a magnet. [/quote]

I thought that was mostly true in general but that’s great if your district has more options.[/quote]
