[quote=Anonymous]If I'm understanding, it sounds like there were real academic benefits in switching to private, and you'd potentially be giving those up by switching back. What your kid is feeling (not quite able to be themselves, not fully part of things) is SO common at this age. That doesn't make it easier, but it also means she might feel the same way at another school. Outside activities, separate from the school experience, can be a huge help here, as can just getting older!

If you're at a K-8 or K-6, I'd stay until the end. You get the fun and benefits of the capstone events and being an alum, plus the school will be VERY invested in helping you find the best fit for high school (private or public). If you're at a K-12, does the grade size increase between 6th or 7th, or 8th and 9th? Again, that can shuffle up the class a lot and make a big difference. Sometimes new activities open up to you, etc.

But if no changes are on the horizon, I'd go with PP suggestion and look at larger schools.[/quote]
