[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Except for Horace Mann, none of the other top privates have an official entry point for middle school. So no, this most likely wouldn’t have worked out well for your family. [/quote] Riverdale and Dalton both have 6th grade entry points, and IIRC so does at least one of the girls schools. Not as many slots as kindergarten or 9th grade, but a significant number. It can be a bit of a crapshoot maturity-wise though - 5th graders vary wildly in their interviewing and standardized test skills, you might have a kid who’s smarter than 2/3 of the kids at HM but isn’t at a place in 5th where they can demonstrate that. Of course kindergarten admissions are also a crapshoot for different reasons; OTOH, with 9th grade, not only do you have a lot of spots and a better prepared kid but also the SHSAT option. [/quote]
