[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Several people have mentioned that they liked a charter for early grades, then decided they needed something different thereafter.  Can anyone elaborate on that?  TIA.

Kid may end up being very sports-oreinted -- or not. They may have an aptitude for science or math and be ready to handle advanced material very early. They may be very shy and need a small, nurturing environment -- or conversely be an extrovert and want the stimulation of a 200+ person middle school with clubs, dances and so forth. They may have a learning disability that doesn't emerge until 2nd or 3rd grade which changes the game completely. They may have their heart set on an Ivy (yes that happens in middle school unfortunately) and want to go to a more academically challenging school. Parents may have financial challenges making a planned private middle school impossible or requiring a move to less expensive home.

It's just impossible to know what will work best for middle school until your child is in 3rd or 4th grade. [/quote]
